Undue influence
Undue influence, Any influence, pressure, or domination in such circumstances that the person acting under that influence may be held not to have exercised his free and independent volition in regard to the act.As to gifts, see title SPIRITUALISM and Lyon v. Home, (1868) LR 6 Eq 655, and as to wills, see Parfitt v. Lawless, (1872) LR 2 P&M 462.In the case of benefits or advantages obtained in certain relationships, the existence of this influence is presumed, e.g., guardian and ward, a parent over a child upon or soon after attaining age and the possession of property, a guide or instructor, medical advisers, ministers or professors of religion, managers of business [Coomber v. Coomber, (1911) 1 Ch 174], attendants upon or advisers of aged and infirm people.

Gift
Gift. The old text-writers made a gift (donatio) a distinct species of deed, and describe it as a conveyance applicable to the creation of an estate-tail; while a feoffment they strictly confine to the creation of a fee simple estate. The operative verb was 'give,' which no longer implies any covenant in law (Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 4), replaced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 59(2), and the deed required livery of seisin. It is obsolete. See Jac. Law Dict.A gift is now understood to mean a mere voluntary assurance or transfer of property without any consideration being given for it. Such a transaction is apt to be very jealously scrutinized in a Court of Equity, and will be set aside on proof of undue influence (see that title), or of a fiduciary relationship of the donee to the donor, see Huguenin v. Baseley, (1806-8) 14 Ves 273; W. & T. L.C.; Morley v. Loughman, (1893) 1 Ch 736 (757); Lyon v. Home, (1868) LR 6 Eq 655. In the absence of any such objectio...

These duties were in name superseded by the 'Estate Duty' imposed by the (English) Finance Act, 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. C. 30), the property chargeable under the (English) Customs & Inland Revenue Act, 1881, s. 38, being included in the classes of property deemed by the (English) Finance Act, 1894, to 'pass' by death and thus chargeable with the new 'Estate Duty' and the original provisions affecting gifts inter vivos, voluntary settlements, etc., have been considerably amended by subsequent legislation.
