|
| | 2. Relief available; protected transfers and executions. | When a court finds that a transfer of property or execution of | a guaranty was the result of undue influence, it shall grant | appropriate relief enabling the elderly dependent person to | avoid the transfer or execution, including the rescission or | reformation of a deed or other instrument, the imposition of a | constructive trust on property or an order enjoining use of or | entry on property or commanding the return of property. When | the court finds that undue influence is a good and valid | defense to a transferee's suit on a contract to transfer the | property or a suit of a person who benefits from the execution | of a guaranty on that guaranty, the court shall refuse to | enforce the transfer or guaranty. |
|
| No relief obtained or granted under this section may in any | way affect or limit the right, title and interest of good | faith |
