Use solicitor as executor of my will?

VoucherMan · 2009-02-12 17:57:56

I've finally decided to make a will. Like many I've just been putting it off until next week / month / year. I'm planning to use the solicitor to act as executor. Does anyone know What sort of fees they normally charge? Is it a fixed fee or a percentage of the estate?

...Also, where there are no suitable adult relatives available to act as your executor, people naturally feel a bit reluctant to ask friends to do it, so one option is to leave them a gift in the Will conditional on them acting.

Executors can legally claim expenses. These should be reasonable though.
