Most inheritance litigation involving claims of undue influence arise in the context of a will or trust contest, and most of those cases revolve around whether the primary beneficiary actively procured the contested instrument. Active procurement can be difficult to prove (or disprove) because your single most important witness, the grantor, is dead, which means we have to litigate these cases based solely on circumstantial evidence.

Join us as Patrick Lanon discusses how our appellate courts could start doing a better job of distinguishing between testamentary and inter vivos undue influence cases.
