What are the attorney fees for a living trust?

As of 2015, attorney fees for a living trust can range from $1,200 to $2,000, according to FindLaw. Alternatively, do-it-yourself books and online trust creation products typically cost between $30 to $60.

Fees to create a living trust can vary depending on several factors, but lawyers generally charge more for living trusts than they do for wills due to the additional complexities involved in creating and maintaining a living will, notes FindLaw. A living trust is an effective alternative to a will, and provides a way to leave property to beneficiaries without having to go through a lengthy and expensive probate process.
