dirty old man.

Sounds like what happend to my ex-husband's father. About the same time
my MIL died, his favorite uncle did too, so he was executor for both. He
met a gold digger a few weeks later who convinced him to marry her and
when he died from cancer less than a year after his late wife died, she
got everything. She'd even got him to change the names on the deed to
the house, though not the car as he'd never got around to changing the
titie.
