Predatory marriages target vulnerable seniors for financial gain, creating devastating legal and emotional consequences for families and overriding existing estate plans.
• Significant age gaps between partners serve as a major red flag
• Marriage automatically creates inheritance rights that can trump wills and trusts
• Common scenarios include caregivers or younger partners isolating seniors from family
• Cognitive decline creates heightened vulnerability to manipulation
• Adding a new spouse to bank accounts can happen without legal oversight
• Attorney-backed documents provide crucial protection through professional testimony
• Online DIY legal documents typically fail to provide adequate protection
• Families must stay vigilant when older relatives form new relationships late in life
• Early comprehensive planning creates the strongest defense against exploitation
• Regular family involvement helps prevent isolation and manipulation
