If we were age 52 and 53, had two grandkids age 8 and 9 moving in with us, they would not have known until we tried to get Villages IDs for them. And by then, it'd be too late.
Kids and pets have nothing to do with HOPA. And again, you have no way of knowing what happened prior to closing. It is very easy to find the age of a person. It is an assumption that nothing is done because you did not see it.
