Industry Sector Expertise

Fay is a property and affairs specialist; she does not dabble. Her court of protection practice is almost exclusively property and affairs.

Fay is also a member of the Business & Property team in Chambers. She has a thriving wills, trusts, probate (contentious and non-contentious), charity and property practice meaning she is ideally placed to advise and act in the most complex court of protection property and affairs cases. Fay is frequently instructed to advise in statutory will, trustee and gifting applications often involving succession planning where extensive knowledge of chancery principles is required.

In her chancery practice, Fay routinely advises in claims against trustees and fiduciaries. She is, therefore, often called upon to advise on applications seeking the removal of attorneys and deputies, misappropriation of P’s estate and the methods of civil recovery and calling in the security bond.
