Hayley Bundey – Your Specialist ACTAPS Solicitor in the South West
Most clients who come to us with a claim for the first time are not familiar with ACTAPS but for those in the profession, or clients who have sadly had experience in the field of contentious probate, they know that ACTAPS is the Association of Contentious Trust & Probate Specialists.
The organisation has been established since 1997 and provides a framework of recommended best practice – referred to as the ACTAPS Code – which those who are specialist in the field aim to follow to provide the very best service to their clients in ensuring their case is handled effectively and with the maximum opportunity for achieving settlements via Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – such as mediations – to save clients the costs and risks of these often very distressing cases being taken to trial.
Hayley has been a full member of ACTAPS since 2016 and says of the relaunch:
“It is a very exciting time to be a member of ACTAPS as the organisation goes through a rebrand making it all the more beneficial to specialists in the field to enable us to offer the very best of service to our clients.
The members directory (https://actaps.com/members-directory?_sft_region=south-west-england) is particularly helpful for clients so that they can narrow down their selection to the specialist practitioners in their area if they wish (I am one of only three in the South West at the time of publishing) but with our specialist consultancy team always happy to act for clients up and down the country and internationally.
The key to contentious trusts and probate work is finding a specialist who knows what they are doing. It can save you a lot of heartache – and ultimately money – in the long run to get the sensible advice and guidance clients need to navigate this difficult area of the law”.
