Money for solicitor fees is in maiden name.

Hello.
My solicitor has asked me to upload evidence of where the money is coming from for the solicitors fees.
It's come from an account that is in my maiden name that I have used to put money aside to save and haven't changed the name on it since I married 9 years ago. I transferred the money in Feb 2019 when our house went on the market ready but solicitor wants proof of where it came from prior to Feb 2019.
If I upload statements from the account in my maiden name and also upload my birth and marriage certificate will that be acceptable?
Solicitor said she will look at everything I upload in the morning so was hoping to get some guidance tonight from here if possible please.

Yes, I expect a marriage certificate will be a sufficient link.0

Only the solicitor can say whether they'll find it sufficient.
The money laundering regs say they simply have to satisfy themselves, no guidance on what is or is not adequate for that.0 -
Ah ok. Thanks for the replies.
If I upload more than I think is needed tonight then that's the best approach.0 -
You opened the account prior to marriage and maintained it by usage. As long as it isn't done to defraud you can continue to use your maiden name as many professionals do. All she needs to see is your marriage certificate to verify both names you are entitled to use.0
