Undue Influence of Elder

Undue influence is present when there is a confidential relationship between an elder and another person and that person gains unfair advantage over the elder.

Undue influence is present when someone isolates the elder from family and friends and then convinces them to execute estate planning documents in that person’s favor.

Estate documents inlcude wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care directives and joint tenancies.

Thelsey L. Fuller, deceased, was a victim of undue influence. His widow, Edwina Fuller, is shown in the photo below, was left penniless.
