Re: Senior citizen house sharing protection
Tell the host to get to an estate planner/real estate attorney. Get something in writing that explains the relationship; a lease, an agreement, or update A's estate plan to make it clear that they are only roommates and he is leaving her nothing. There further steps if you are worried about B's motives. See an attorney.
