Lining up verts on corner pieces

What would be the best way to line up the verts on the outer sides of these pieces of trim to create a 90 degree angle? I know I can manually line them up but it takes time and is hard to get a perfect angle. I feel like there is probably a really simple way to do this that I am missing.

I usually select the vertices of one piece, put them into a lattice, then snap the corresponding vertices of the lattice to the outer edge of the other piece. (Then delete history)
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
