Wills and Probate Solicitors in Moorgate

Some wills designate a firm of solicitors or accountants as executors instead of family members. A professional executor can only charge for their services if the will includes a charging clause. The fees are then deducted from the estate before any distributions to beneficiaries. Beneficiaries can request an estate account detailing the charges, and the court can review any fees that appear excessive. If a named firm has merged or closed, its successor practice typically takes over the executor appointment.

Moorgate derives its name from a gate in the old London Wall that once opened onto the marshy Moorfields. The street runs along the northern edge of the City of London. Wills and probate solicitors in Moorgate can serve as professional executors, prepare estate accounts and apply for the grant in complex estates. Firms throughout EC2 and the broader City undertake this type of work.
