Yet another thing to be aware of as our parents age.
Yep there are crap people around who prey on seniors. In provinces other than Alberta and BC, using marriage nullifies an existing will so it very easy for predators to profit. Making it necessary to write a new will or take out a life insurance policy on the partner increases the likelihood of a cognitive check.
Things have really changed in my lifetime - much more so for my parents generation. No wonder they are so vulnerable to scams and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
