The Cost of Setting Up a Living Trust in Maryland As such, the actual cost of the trust is quite low, but the legal fees associated with having a Maryland trust and estate attorney write the documents and set up a trust can range from $1,000 to a few thousand dollars, depending on a few factors.
Your estate plan is entirely your decision, and you are free to leave your assets to others, such as other family members, friends, or charitable organizations, should you choose. If you do wish to leave something to your child but are concerned about their ability to manage it, a trust can be an excellent solution.
The average fee for creating a revocable living trust ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 nationwide, although it is usually much higher in California where costs can escalate to $5,000 to $10,000 or more. These fees often reflect the lawyers experience and expertise.
Under Maryland law, you are permitted to create your own trust. But should you? In an effort to save money you (or your estate) can actually end up spending much more than it ever would have cost you to pay an attorney.
The trustee manages the trust property for your benefit in accordance with the trust agreement. Upon your death, however, the trust agreement acts like a will and provides for the distribution of your assets to your beneficiaries, either outright or in further trust.
