“Lucy Horsington could not have been more professional, patient and kind.”
“I was very happy with the service and advice I received from the Sherborne office both in dealing with the handling of my late sister-in -law's probate application, handling the estate affairs and administrating the sale of my sister-in -law's property.”
“I felt that Battens had the correct balance of listening/giving advice and efficiency with the correct amount of sympathy and understanding and experience. I felt much safer when I had seen my new lawyer and that she would reassure me that I would have my affairs in order.”
“Extremely good service and very well explained throughout. Thank you for meeting all our needs in updating our wills.”
“I am very happy with the care and understanding given to me by Lucy and her team at Battens in Sherborne. At a very difficult time for me they carried the burden of dealing with my late husband's estate. I don't know what I would have done without them. Now that everything is complete, I can finally feel that I have closure. I would not hesitate to recommend Lucy or anyone at Battens to anyone I meet who needs sound legal advice.”
“Lucy helped me with arranging my Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney. She was friendly, approachable and very efficient. Her assistants, Kira and Bonnie, were also very prompt to reply to emails and answering questions.”
“I contacted Battens after the death of my husband as he didn't leave a will. I was looked after by Lucy, who dealt with everything that needed to be done. She took all of the worry I had, as I didn't know where to start, away, giving me peace of mind. She was Knowledgeable, kind and efficient. I would highly recommend their services.”
“Having bought and sold six homes and produced several wills, over almost sixty years, we can say that our 2025 experience with Lucy and Kira at Battens Sherborne was the happiest and most straightforward.”
“My experience with Lucy and her team has been excellent. Her advice was clear and detailed and any questions promptly dealt with.”
“Lucy Horsington and her team did an amazing job. I am sure Lucy would be the first to agree that at times I am not the easiest person to deal with, but if she can look after someone like me then she can look after anyone.”
“Lucy Horsington kept me updated so that I could in turn keep the co-beneficiaries updated. She was always friendly and understanding and conducted the administration of the estate in a professional and pragmatic manner. It was a pleasure to work with her on this matter, and I appreciated her enthusiastic approach to learning about what charity beneficiaries require during an estate administration.”
