How about an elderly widow raising her grandchildren.  

Like I said, that 'could' be true, but it's not common and likely wouldn't be the best BK plan for a middle class widow.  

When he died and I helped his widow, she later informed me that my friend, Mike, had left the investment company to me!  

The homeowner is an elderly woman, who was recently widowed and is planning to put her house on the market in a couple of weeks.

In one case the widow wanted to move in with friends and people closer to her age and spoke her native language.

Maybe add in to the lease that all police reports involving problems caused by tenants, or their guests, will result in a $100 fine, to be donated to a charity benefiting police widows and children.

A widow was 3 months from foreclosure.

They may not want someone calling a widow 2 days after her husband died and trying to get them to sign a contract. 

I was networking with a realtor hoping to start investing in June of this year when she said she had a widower who's husband owns 20 properties and is dumping them after his recent death 2 months ago.

I won't link to it so as not to be spammy, but it's on the PeerRealty website if anyone's interested.Cuban's talking about "widows and orphans" in this blog post again.
