Typically, the trustee compensation is stated in the provisons of the trust.  If not, then it is determined under the guidelines typically awarded in your area or county.  The probate court has a calculation that they use to determine trustee compensation.  I usually use that calculation if no compensation guidelines are provided in the trust.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
