My wife and I each have revocable trusts. We are the trustees of each other's trust and of course we have secondary choices. I wouldn't pay a bank or atty to be a trustee unless I had no one else I could rely on.
I'm no attorney, but $1000 seems like a lot for a simple will.
Back when I had a will I wrote up the substance of what I wanted it to say and emailed it to my attorney, he copied and pasted it into a standard document with all the whereas and wherefores and made sure it was a legal will. It cost me $350. This was probably 10 years ago.
