Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 48.070
Undue Influence
A will is invalid if it is the result of undue influence. To constitute undue influence, the conscious
and deliberate choice of the person executing the writing must be destroyed. The undue influence
must be of such irresistible character as to control a person’s mind, and amount to coercion or
duress.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
