KASE V. FRENCH
325 N.W.2d 678 (1982)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit over the transfer of property under undue influence.
FACTS: Mrs. Williams was a widow in her 80's and was met and befriended by the Frenches.
Eventually a series of transactions were entered into that could be viewed as taking
advantage of Mrs. Williams; the sale of an alleged house worth $90,000 for $40,000 for 1%
interest and no downpayment. The contract was consummated with the full knowledge of Mrs.
Williams' attorney and against his advice. The administrator of her estate sued to vacate
that contract and to recover various cash transfers obtained allegedly from undue influence.
The trial court upheld the validity of the contract in that no confidential relationship was
present between Mrs. Williams and Frenches. P appealed.
