Subject : XXXX XXXX XXXX am the beneficiary of a trust an aunt established at the XXXX Florida. I received notice from the bank that " tax preparation and filingfees will increase to {$900.00} for the XXXX XXXX hours and {$300.00} for each additionalhour required. Most irrevocable trusts on extension will require more than XXXXhours. '' This caused me to review income versus fees for the past years. Thetax preparation fee for the past XXXX years has been {$320.00} ( my share ) per year. 
For XXXX 2013, I had income of {$5700.00}, while XXXX collected {$170.00} for a '' Investment Solutions fee '' each from Income Cash and Principal Cash, and $ XXXXXXXXfor " Account Mgmt Services Fee '' each from Income Cash and Principal Cash. 
Bottom line, while I received {$5700.00}, XXXX received a total of {$4300.00} infees PLUS {$650.00} for tax preparation. Am I the only one who thinks thisexcessiv? Also, with the increase in tax preparation cossts this year, XXXXfees almost equal my income from the fund. What avenues are open to me tocontest these fees?
