If you’re wondering about how much a revocable living trust costs in Georgia, you’re not alone. One of the first questions families ask is: “What happens to my home, rentals, and bank accounts if I pass away without a trust?”

In Georgia, your loved ones are forced into probate court — a public process that can take months or even years, cost $5,000–$12,000 for a basic estate (and much more if you own rentals or a business), and expose every detail of your finances to the public record.

A revocable living trust prevents that. By moving ownership into the trust while you stay in control, your family avoids probate completely — saving time, legal fees, and stress. This guide lays out the base cost, every available add-on, and real-world examples so you can calculate your total price upfront, without surprises.

Calculate the Cost of a Revocable Living Trust in Georgia

Every family’s situation is different. Factors like the number of properties you own, whether you have out-of-state real estate, or if you run a business all affect the final price.

The Base Price For Georgia Revocable Trusts

Revocable Living Trust Package – $3,500

This package includes:

  • One quitclaim deed – Transfers your primary Georgia home into the trust so it avoids probate. Without this step, your house would still be tied up in court after death.
  • Pour-over will – Serves as a safety net for assets you forget to retitle. Note: those assets still go through probate first, then pour into the trust.
  • Financial power of attorney – Authorizes someone you trust to manage money, bills, and accounts if you’re incapacitated.
  • Georgia advance directive for health care – Lets you decide in advance who makes medical decisions and what care you want.
  • HIPAA medical release – Ensures doctors can legally share medical information with your chosen decision-makers.
  • Step-by-step funding instructions – Guides you on how to retitle accounts, vehicles, and other assets not directly transferred.

Optional Add-Ons for Special Assets

Additional Georgia Properties — $550 per property

Every property in Georgia must be individually transferred into your trust. If even one rental house or vacant lot is left out, your family may face probate for that asset. We prepare a quitclaim deed for each additional property.

Out-of-State Property — $1,100 per state

Real estate outside Georgia requires compliance with local state laws. Without this step, your family faces ancillary probate — a separate court process in every state where you own property. We coordinate with an attorney in each state.

Business-Asset Transfer — $2,250 per entity

Simply listing your LLC, partnership, or corporation in your trust is not enough. If ownership documents are not properly updated, the business will still pass through probate. We draft assignment agreements and update operating documents.

Funding Audit / Full Funding Review — $750

Many families accidentally leave out assets when transferring them to a trust. Even one missed account can push your estate into probate. We conduct a full audit to confirm every asset is titled correctly.

How to Estimate Your Total Cost

Start with the base package of $3,500, then add what applies:

  • Homeowner with one Georgia rental: $3,500 + $550 = $4,050
  • Investor with three Georgia rentals and a Florida condo: $3,500 + $1,650 + $1,100 = $6,250
  • Business owner with two LLCs and one out-of-state property: $3,500 + $4,500 + $1,100 = $9,100

Why Waiting Costs More Than Acting

Every month you delay setting up a trust, you expose your family to real risks:

  • Court delays – Probate can freeze property and bank accounts for months or even years.
  • Legal fees – Probate in Georgia often costs $5,000–$12,000 for a basic estate, and tens of thousands more if you own rentals, a business, or out-of-state property.
  • Public filings – Probate makes your entire estate a matter of public record.
