I am so sorry for your loss. Dissolving a trust and distributing the assets will take some time to do correctly. Was there a Last Will and Testament as well? Then that will have to be probated. As for the fees that are incurred, the trust pays all of them or should and the fee of the bank is generally set by statute in the state (you may be able to go on line and look it up yourself). The bank should disclose the information to the trust beneficiaries so you will be made aware of uwhat is going on. And I wold not feel shy about asking questions as well. Good luck to you.
