How much does setting up a trust cost?

Setting up a trust through an attorney generally runs about 1,500 to 3,000 dollars or more for a basic revocable living trust, with more complex trusts costing more. Online options are cheaper, often a few hundred dollars, but provide less tailored advice. You'll also need to fund the trust by transferring assets into it, which can add some time and minor fees. For estates that benefit from avoiding probate, the cost is usually worth it.
