While it is not necessary to hire an undue influence attorney to litigate a case involving undue influence, you may not secure the results you want without one.
Because of the subjective nature of undue influence, it can be difficult to prove, especially if you are not a legal professional and are going about it on your own.
The definition of undue influence can in itself be confusing because it requires for there to have been “excessive persuasion.” What one person finds excessive may be completely different from what another person finds excessive.
For example, if the adult child of an elderly person phones their parent a few times to ask them to create a will that names them and their children as beneficiaries, would that be considered excessive or would it merely be seen as a reminder?
An undue influence attorney will be able to listen to the details of your case to determine whether undue influence may have occurred, and if it did, present your case effectively to the court.
