ACTAPS (which stands for the ‘Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists’) is a grouping of lawyers who specialise exclusively in contentious trust and probate law. Using the services of an ACTAPS lawyer offers clients reassurance that they have a true specialist representing them.
Slee Blackwell has six offices in Devon. Their head office is in Barnstaple, North Devon. They also have offices in Bideford, Braunton, Tiverton, Exeter and South Molton, as well as Bristol and Taunton in Somerset.
Naomi is an experienced practitioner in all aspects of contentious probate law, including:
- Contested will disputes;
- Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act claims;
- Trust disputes;
- Beneficiary disputes;
- Executor disputes;
- Beneficial ownership and TOLATA claims involving constructive trusts and resulting trusts; and
- Proprietary estoppel cases.
She often uses mediation to successfully resolve protracted disputes with the minimum of delay and expense. She has an excellent track record of reaching settlements through mediation as well as for winning at trial when an out of court settlement cannot be reached.
We have a large team of lawyers dealing exclusively with contentious probate cases throughout the country and abroad. We offer a range of options for funding legal costs, including:
- deferred fees;
- fixed fees; and
- no win, no fee.
Naomi is always more than happy to discuss a potential case, informally and free of charge, with anyone who is thinking about making a contentious probate claim or who is facing a claim being brought against them.
