What are gifts made under duress?
A gift made under duress is one which is given under unfair pressure of influence. Presumed undue influence can arise in certain specified relationships / in relationships where trust and confidence is shown and where there is a transaction that requires an explanation.
If such a presumption applies, it is possible to rebut the presumption with evidence to demonstrate that the gift was made without undue influence.
Our expert team can advise in detail on the test for undue influence, whether it applies to your case and how to proceed to achieve the best outcomes for you. Get in touch with a specialist solicitor for more advice and guidance.
