Downey knows that when a fight must be fought, you deserve a trial lawyer who will wield a sword on your behalf in court.
The Law Office of Richard L. Downey offers estate litigation services designed to resolve problems involving the following:
- Will disputes: Will contests can arise when an heir or beneficiary believes he or she was omitted from the will or when he or she believes the decedent's wishes were not properly identified. Will disputes can involve an element of breach of fiduciary duty. For example, the decedent may have been manipulated, subjected to undue influence or have been the victim of fraud. Will contests often call into question the role of a fiduciary, requiring an attorney experienced in fiduciary litigation.
- Trust disputes: Whether you are the recipient of a trust fund or a person who believes the recipient unethically influenced the decedent's decision, our firm can uncover the truth of the matter and protect your rights.
