Undue influence is a cause of action in Chicago will contests that look to show a basis to have a will invalidated. This occurs when the testator has their will overpowered by another part's wrongful actions. One of the keys to undue influence during will contests is whether a fiduciary duty existed between the person accused of using undue influence and the testator. IN this article, our Chicago will contest attorney examine undue influence in will contests and give you the information you need to understand what it is and how they are used in will contests.
