Undue influence refers to a situation where a person takes advantage of his or her position of authority or trust to manipulate another person's decision-making and force them to act against their will. This can happen in situations such as a doctor-patient relationship, attorney-client relationship, or between family members. The improper use of this power to benefit oneself is considered unethical and illegal. Mistake, misrepresentation, and duress are different legal concepts and do not apply to this situation.
