Undue influence

Undue influence is when someone tries to make another person do something they don't really want to do by using unfair or unhealthy tactics. It's like when you really want a toy and your big brother says he'll only let you play with it if you give him your dessert, and he keeps bothering you until you give it to him even though you don't really want to. That's not fair, and it's not right.

In grown-up terms, undue influence is something that can happen between two adults. For example, if someone is very sick and vulnerable, someone else might try to convince them to change their will or give away their money, even though they don't really want to. This is not fair to the sick person, and it's not right.

In courts, undue influence can be used as a defense in cases where someone was forced or tricked into doing something that they did not want to do. The law tries to protect people from this kind of unfair behavior, called undue influence, so that everyone can make their own decisions without being pressured or manipulated by others.
