The Legal Services Act 2007 (Approved Regulators) Order 2009
The Lord Chancellor makes this Order having made two previous Orders, The Probate (Approved Bodies) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/1865) and The Probate (Approved Bodies) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1588). The former designates the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (“CLC”) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (“ICAS”) and the latter the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (“ACCA”) as approved bodies for the purposes of exempting their members from section 23 of the Solicitors Act 1974, so enabling their members to provide probate activities for a fee.
