I saw on twitter an article by a lady who was the daughter of a 91yo PWD and when her mother died she found out that her mother had (unknowingly!) been married to someone for 5 months. She had severe alzheimers when the "marriage" took place. but the man was able to say that she just had a stroke and so couldn't communicate properly. The marriage then automatically invalidated the will and when she died he got everything.
It was such a sad story and it makes me fume that there are people out there taking advantage in such an appalling way. Apparently it's not as uncommon as you'd think and registrars aren't trained to really look out for this.
Anyways, not sure why I'm posting but I had no idea about this kind of thing!
