For a simple DFT with Personal Trustees the average cost is around $600 and if you throw in a Corporate Trustee then you add around another $1000.
GOM you are correct for doing what Kkatlea is trying to achieve I cannot see any reason why she would not proceed with that style of entity.
Often we suggest to clients they start off with a DFT and PT's and then build upto a Corporate Trustee but again this may vary depending on their marginal Tax rate and the amounts they are thinking.
