It depends mainly on the species. As fas as I know, if the grafted variety and the roostock are fully compatibles the graft should not affect the longevity. A olive-tree or a chestnut tree can last several centuries (more than 10), I don't know about mango or avocado, but I have seen pretty big mangoes and avocados that are for sure far beyond one century (most likely your trees will live more than you and me, if correct conditions are provided).
