Strong enough persuasion to completely overpower the free will of another and prevent him or her from acting intelligently and voluntarily, as in a case where a broker guilty of blockbusting has induced someone to sell in fear of a change in the racial character of the community.' undue influence' usually requires a close or confidential relationship like parent-child, broker-seller, attorney-client, or trustee-beneficiary.
