Undue influence occurs when a party in a position of power over another party unfairly influences them to enter into a contract. This can occur when a fiduciary, such as a trustee or guardian, takes advantage of their position to convince someone to enter into a contract that is not in their best interest. If this occurs, the party who was taken advantage of may be able to rescind the contract.
