The Solicitors costs are known as testamentary expenses and are a first call on the Estate along with funeral expenses. These will be satisfied from the monies within the Estate. If there are insufficient assets it can be the responsibility of the Personal Representatives (PR) of the Estate to satisfy these costs so care must be taken if you are acting as a PR for someone with extensive debts or a small Estate.
