A judge has said the only “winners” in a potentially costly legal dispute over a father’s will would be “the lawyers”, encouraging the parties to try to reach a settlement agreement.
Ms Fahey had told a previous hearing that her father had a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality and had shown violent behaviour over years to her and her siblings.
The Terenure property had been the family home of Bernard Dooley and he had bought out the shares of his siblings, but had deferred paying Fr Dooley his share. The judge said it was clear there were “significant concerns” since 2014, and likely at least two years previous to that, about Mr Dooley’s mental wellbeing and cognitive ability.
Richard Murphy, a nephew of Moira Murphy and the sole surviving executor of Mr Dooley’s estate, was firmly of the view he had held capacity in making his wills, the court previously heard.
