Is there any dependency between the husband and wife?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ukrainian Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Eastern Canada v. Pidwerbecki, 2007 CanLII 2362 (ON SC):
Even if there were a dependency, I am satisfied that the presumption of undue influence is rebutted by absence of actual influence and the presence of independent legal advice (see Streisfield v. Goodman, [2001] O.J. No. 3314).
