Duress in real estate refers to a situation where an individual is compelled to enter into a contract or agreement due to a threat or coercion, making the contract voidable.
Rescission refers to the legal act of canceling or terminating a contract, most often due to issues like fraud, duress, misrepresentation, or mistake. It renders the contract void from the beginning, effectively restoring both parties to the situation they were in before the contract was made.
