Two very different price tags
Wyoming's national reputation rests on features that matter most for a large, multi-generational structure: 1,000-year trust duration, asset protection, and pairing a trust with a Wyoming LLC to work around the real-property perpetuities limit. Building a structure that actually uses those features well is a different, more deliberate engagement than a basic individual or couple's revocable trust, and it's priced accordingly.
Why the cheapest option carries real risk
DIY services cost less upfront, but a trust that's invalid or never properly funded leaves a family facing the exact Wyoming probate process it was meant to avoid. See Wyoming Living Trust Funding Mistakes for the most common way this goes wrong.
