Best Answer

Hiring a living trust lawyer can generally cost somewhere between $1,200 to $2,500, but for those with complicated trusts, such as people with large or complex estates or those who need a special needs trust, hiring a living trust lawyer is the best way to go. Also, some people will find the process of creating a will or a living trust rather complicated, especially those who may be computer-illiterate and are not sure where to start. However, most people can create their own living trusts with some research, a good book or two, and software and spend a fraction of the price of what it would cost to hire a lawyer.

Living Trust Revocation?

Get StartedThe Living Trust Revocation is a document used to revoke a living trust or joint living trust. The Revocation can be used to either dismantle the entire plan of using a revocable living trust or to revoke the "old" living trust in preparation for preparing and signing a "new" living trust. However, if a new living trust will be created, and if it will have the same number of grantors as the revoked living trust, consider amending and restating the existing living trust instead of revoking it. If the living trust is merely restated and not revoked/replaced, the assets already transferred to the living trust will remain in the living trust, avoiding the need to transfer each of them. (See this program's Living Trust or Joint Living Trust documents and select the option to "Amend" the Trust.)
