“Seniors have always been prime targets for scammers who prey on their trusting nature and easy demeanor,” said Singer (R-30). “We’ve all heard the stories—an elderly person passes away and their entire estate is left to a seemingly random caregiver. In many of these instances, the so-called caregiver took advantage of a person who was clearly in a vulnerable state. My legislation will curb this despicable behavior so that our seniors can feel confident that their estate will go to the proper beneficiaries.”

Singer’s legislation, S-3341, will protect vulnerable seniors from predatory practices committed by caregivers or alleged caregivers—particularly seniors living in nursing homes, assisted living residences, or continuing care retirement communities.

Under the bill, a non-familial caregiver must prove that no undue influence existed if that caregiver is named a beneficiary in a will.
