Is there any way to avoid the legal or trust fees involved with a Charitable Remainder Trust?
Professional fees will always be required to establish this instrument. However, some donors do not need all the features of a Charitable Remainder Trust to accomplish their ends. If you simply want your gift to become a source of lifetime income for yourself and/or another person and have the gift revert to charity at death, then consider less complex arrangements such as a Charitable Gift Annuity.
