I used Stephanie to deal with my late partner's probate. It ended up being a lengthy process due to hmrc. Stephanie was amazing at dealing with them and keeping us informed. She wasn't scared to challenge hmrc when needed. I would highly recommend her. Many thanks.

My brother and I used Stephanie at BB&C to do the probate application and inheritance tax returns on my mum's estate. It was not a complicated estate but it did require using the inheritance nil band rate, as the estate fell between the default inheritance tax free allowance of £325k and the extended allowance of £500k that applies if the main property is passing to direct descendants, requiring completion of several additional IHT forms. I think we could probably still have done it ourselves had we had infinite time and patience for form filling and research, but just dealing with the drudgery and endless correspondence with financial and other institutions (e.g. utilities, council tax etc) required by estate administration was enough for us. Employing Stephanie cost us approximately 1.25% of the estate's value and for the aggravation and -- perhaps especially -- the possibility of making a costly mistake that it saved us I would say it was definitely well worth the expense. In the end, once the forms went in, probate was granted in just 2 days, which must be some kind of record and, I think, attests to the thoroughness of everyone at BB&C. I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending either BB&C or Stephanie again. Both of us were very happy with their service. As a result, we are also employing them both for the conveyancing of my mother's property and one of our wills. My overwhelming sense of BB&C is that it is a very long-standing local firm with an ethos for good service that is very well trusted locally. My experience of them was entirely different in this regard from a number of London solicitors that I have used that either come and go every few years or faceless corporations with offices all over the country that you have to chase at every stage in the process. We never had to chase BB&C: if I weren't 60 miles away, I would use them for all my own affairs on the basis of this experience. If I could find a local outfit with a similar ethos I would use that outfit.

Stephanie made the experience simple to understand and gave clear understandable advice. As an ex-pat with property and businesses in the EU as well as the UK I needed a solicitor with a full understanding of european law and that is exactly what I got with Stephanie. It was a much better experience than i have had recently with other solicitors who treated me like a number rather than a person.

I had a number of bad life events at the same time that my father died, and I was very well supported by Stephanie who showed empathy and made such a good rate or progress with the Probate. Further, out of three quotes, hers was the lowest. Such a great service at a competitive price.

I live in Japan but needed a Will for the UK. Burt, Brill and Cardens Solicitors were first-class throughout. I had the good fortune to be advised and guided by Stephanie Batts who was wonderfully efficient and so helpful in completing the process from the other side of the world to me.

Dear Andy, Thank you for your kind words about Stephanie. We're glad that she and her team could be of service with updating your complex Wills. We wish you all the best and look forward to serving you in the future, Best, The Burt Brill & Cardens Team
I cannot recommend Burt Brill & Cardens highly enough. From the first meeting to the successful completion of my case they were fully focused on me as a person. They guided me through my case offering sound advice and explaining, in detail and in pain language, possible ways to proceed so I, with this expert knowledge, better able to make better informed decisions. I found the whole Teem to be dedicated and professional at all times, they took the time to listen and understand then with being fully informed I was able to give clear instructions . My case took almost three years to complete and in that time I was kept fully informed and updated. I've only used a Law firm once before and and I thought they were good however they were nothing compered to Burt Brill & Cardens . If I find myself needing a Law firm again I will, without a doubt or hesitation, head for Burt Brill & Cardens

We are delighted that you felt fully supported and informed throughout the process and we're grateful for the opportunity to have been of service to you over the past three years.

Stephanie and Olena provided outstanding service in the preparation of our wills. Olena kept us fully informed about all the different stages of the process and Stephanie held our hand through out the drafting process. Stephanie was really helpful and highly knowledgeable about drafting our instructions. She went out of her way to ensure that we understood all the complexities and gave us the time and space to discuss all the matters fully. We are so pleased with the service we received. If we were able to provide marks out of 10, it would be 10 out of 10.
