Endowment: Validity of an Endowment Made Under Coercion

English:

Question #1981:

Should one be coerced into endowing something, can it still be valid?

Answer #1981:

If the donor was coerced into making the endowment, such an endowment cannot be valid unless the consent of the person in question followed. Yet, even if the consent was later granted, the question remains problematic.
