Sheri R. Abrams, Attorney at Law, was among the attendees at the Annual Stetson University Law School Conference on Special Needs Trust Preparation, which took place October 16-17, 2008 in Tampa, Florida.

Special needs Trust Preparation is one of the fastest-growing areas of estate planning. Attorneys in this field focus on helping individuals with special needs and their families plan for a more secure future. The attorneys must combine compassion with skilled estate planning and a knowledge of the public benefit programs on which many individuals with special needs must rely.

These Conferences put on by the Stetson University Law School provide attorneys in this growing field of law with access to a collegial community and practice tools to assist them in fulfilling their clients’ needs.

This conference in Tampa featured presentations by nationally recognized leaders in special needs planning and related disciplines who shared insights on the latest developments and legal strategies in the field.
