Undue Influence Assessment

The following is from a message I recently received from Dr. Bennett Blum:

* * * thought you would be interested in the following new resource regarding “undue influence” assessment:   CaseSoft® – a division of LexisNexis® – is sponsoring a series of web-based seminars based upon my work.  The series is entitled “Undue Influence & Elder Financial Abuse.”  These “webinars” are free and available to the public.

Chapter 1 of the series is an overview of the concept of undue influence, including some of the major subdivisions and associated behavioral models.  References are given for those interested in more detailed study. (Available now).

Chapter 2 of the series contains an in-depth introduction to IDEAL – a behavior-based method of analyzing claims of undue influence.  Sample cases and assessments are included.  (Available February, 2007).

Chapter 3 will cover advanced issues in undue influence and IDEAL.  Tips for investigation, case presentation, and cross-examination will also be included.   (Release date to be announced).

To view the webinars, click on the following link or paste it into your browser: https://casesoft.webex.com/casesoft/onstage/tool/record/viewrecording1.php?EventID=387742112

OR – Visit the “Webinar” page of my website (www.bennettblummd.com).

My goal is to provide practical, yet sophisticated, information that may be used immediately.  To that end, I think you will find these presentations helpful in your work.
