Fay Collinson exclusively focuses on property and affairs in the court of protection, and wills, trusts, and probate mandates; in Anderson v Williams, she represented the executors and beneficiaries in a claim brought against the deceased’s surviving wife for breach of fiduciary duty whilst she acted as the deceased’s financial attorney and subsequently misappropriated around £200,000 during his lifetime
