A quick definition of captation:

Term: Captation

Definition: Captation is when someone forces or pressures another person to change their wishes or desires, especially when it comes to making a will. It used to be a term used for the first stage of hypnosis, but now it is mostly used in legal contexts to describe undue influence on a testator.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Captation
Definition: Captation is a legal term that refers to forcing someone to change their will or wishes. This can happen when someone is pressured or manipulated into making decisions that they wouldn't have made otherwise. For example, if a person's family members threaten to cut them off if they don't leave their inheritance to a certain person, that would be considered captation. Captation is illegal and can be challenged in court.
Examples: If a wealthy person's caregiver convinces them to leave all their money to the caregiver instead of their family, that would be an example of captation. Another example would be if a person's business partner threatens to ruin their reputation if they don't sign over their share of the company. These examples show how captation involves using coercion or manipulation to change someone's wishes.
