If you are talking about the cost of hiring a professional trustee, they usually charge about 1 percent of trust holdings each year. They may have a minimum fee, which would mean that the percentage is higher for smaller trusts of under $500,000 in assets. In addition, many discount the fee for larger trusts of more than $2 million.
