Proving Undue Influence In California

Undue influence occurs when someone in a position of power or authority coerces or pressures another individual to make or change a will. This is one of the reasons why DIY estate plans are not the way to go; estate plans generated by a licensed attorney are far less likely to be successfully contested in probate court.


As estate planning attorneys, we work closely with our clients and have a good idea of when undue influence may be at play. As a result, we create will and trust documents that are legally binding, so malicious or self-interested parties are far less likely to contest them - or be successful if they try to challenge them in court.
