Refinancing home in trust. Attorney Opinion Letter

Hello,

I am trying to refinance my home in California. The title of the home is held in a trust. The lender is asking me for an attorney opinion letter to verify that the trust is setup correctly. Is this something that is commonly required. If so, what is the best way of getting this. I have contacted the lawyer who setup the trust and I have a feeling that they will charge me a hefty fees for this.

Is there another simpler way of getting the refinance done in my name and then filing a deed to move the title back in the name of the trust. If we take this route then is it a simple process or does this involve a lot of paperwork as well.
