Undue Influence - a growing concern

This webinar will look into undue influence in the context of succession law. It will explore the legal basis for this doctrine, and then consider the way in which lawyers can:

• Take steps to identify risks of undue influence
• Use appropriate medical professionals to determine whether a client may be at risk of undue influence
• Respond appropriately when a risk of undue influence is identified
• Mitigate professional risks, and respond to claims of undue influence in court proceedings (in light of recent case law).

The presentation will assist you to protect your clients and ensure you discharge your own professional duties with regard to this type of claim.

Learning objectives

By attending this webinar you will:

• Be informed on recent case law in this area.
• Better understand and recognise potential undue influence.
• More confidently respond to and manage claims of undue influence.
