View this case - free  

Overview: A warranty deed of gift from a wife to her husband should have been set aside as the product of undue influence because a confidential relationship existed due to their long marriage, the fact that the husband took care of the ailing wife, and the fact that a power of attorney was established. The presumption of undue influence was not rebutted.
