It should never have gotten to this point. If I were the couple, I'd ignore the man's complaints, hire a lawyer and set up SOMETHING to that the money becomes his, BUT is carefully doled out. It shouldn't be hard too find a lawyer that would handle it pro bono - there has to be a person attached to allow large one-time expenses (like a home purchase). Create a will at the same time.
THEN walk away and let the guy lead his life. And never use a dime of the money myself.
Either this is good intentions gone awry or something devious or a mix of both. A story I read indicated the homeless man was living in an RV on the couple's property. Does not say who owned the RV but I suspect the homeless man doesn't as he is homeless again. The couple should account for the money and set up sone kind of trust, something with sone accountability for all involved.
