This is probably akin to taking advantage of financially uneducated person, in an emergency situation, no less. There are laws (or should be) protecting the layman. Examples: title companies check if a seller is mentally competent and understand what they are doing (encountered one case where the seller was selling his/her house significantly under market to a flipper, without an agent). Similar to that, and similar to how mortgages require thorough financial background checks and whole process of payments is rather dumbed down, it should probably be similar for this case.
