A person—often a stepchild, relative, or opportunistic acquaintance—who preys on a grieving widow in order to claim property, wealth, or assets that the widow legally and morally protected. A widow predator typically waits until the husband passes away, then uses deception, manipulation, or legal loopholes to seize control of the widow’s marital home or estate, despite contributing nothing, especially in cases during the caregiving or hardship period.
This term is used to expose those who terrorize, harass, and/or exploit grief to gain material advantage, especially when the widow made all the real sacrifices and should gain, yet others do instead. They are Widow Predators.

"After ten years of caregiving, she watched helplessly as the greedy, privileged step-kids went after the widow. After her husband died, the Widow Predators swooped in, pretending they cared, only to snatch the house she paid for and maintained the entire time."
