A reader of MarketWatch’s advice column reports that her 57-year-old brother-in-law convinced his 80-year-old parents to transfer ownership of their home and $600,000 in savings to him. The funds were used to purchase a $3 million compound solely in his name. The reader’s husband, age 47, was excluded from the inheritance and rejected a proposal to receive 40% of the home-sale proceeds. The parents’ long-term care plan remains unclear, prompting the reader to seek advice on whether to intervene.

AI money tips are practical but miss vulnerable users, study finds

A study tested OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Perplexity on five hypothetical financial scenarios to evaluate AI guidance. The models offered structured, practical advice but failed to recognize user vulnerability, occasionally suggesting risky or unsuitable actions (e.g., crypto for a low‑income single parent) or assuming partner support.

New rules will also make financial guidance more accessible, though not personalized, to help consumers make informed decisions.
