what is trustee fees
Trusteesâ fees. A trusteeâs fee is the amount the trust pays to compensate the trustee for his or her time. There is no set trusteeâs fee. You can choose to base it on a small percentage of the market value of the assets plus a percentage of the income earned by the trust. You may opt to calculate the number of hours you spend and bill by the hour. You may even charge a flat fee, which is more like an honorarium.
