Least Expensive Corporate Trustee

May 06, 2015 2 Replies

Can anyone recommend a financial institution for its inexpensive fees for being a Co-Trustee?



US Bank has been the corporate trustee for this trust. Their service is poor; a legal notice requiring a legal consent or refusal due at a certain time was sent over two years late; less than prompt call back service; trying to push around the other co-trustees to churn stocks; addressing all by first name, like we are all buddies. We're not.



I noticed their tune changed when I was working with an impoverished relative. Service went from being poor to being abusive.



US Bank's fees amount to about 1.4% of the principal each year. Vanguard seems about 25% cheaper.



Is there not a family member that can do this, obtaining and paying for legal advise when necessary?

Hi, the terms of the trust require one corporate trustee.
