This program will provide practical tips and best practices for estate planning attorneys who work with disabled beneficiaries. Additionally, the Surrogate’s Court is an essential partner in planning and supporting disabled beneficiaries and the intricacies in Surrogate’s Court practice must be considered by the estate planning practitioner. This program will provide practical, behind the scenes insight from active jurists.
