Solicitors fee's - how much

AMG_3

My father passed away recently, Mammy dead too. Going through the whole will thing now. It seems like the solicitor is getting his hand in a bit. Can anyone tell me what solicitors fee's are?? The guy that my father was dealing with is charging a percentage of the estate, is this correct??

Also my father gave his business to my brother about 8 year's ago, which is mentioned in the will. However my brother doesn't have to pay any funeral expenses or solicitor's fee's. This is to be divided out between myself and my 3 sister's. This doesn't seem right at all! Is it???

Any advice would be great.
Thanks,

A percentage of the estate value is quite normal.

It was up to your father how he gave things away and who ended up paying the funeral expenses and solicitor's fees whether this is "right" or not it was his wish.
