Real Property Trust and Estate Spring Symposia

The ABA Section of Real Property, Trust & Estate Law is presenting a CLE on  Real Property Trust and Estate Spring Symposia, on May 1-2,  2014.  Provided below is a description of this event:

This year's RPTE Spring Symposia offers CLE programs addressing the latest developments in estate planning, covering a wide range of topics.

A three-part Estate Planning Basics program might be of interest to newer lawyers, while more seasoned professionals will find a variety of specialized programs from which to choose. In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Symposia, there will be two special panels of distinguished Section Chairs to share their reflections on the challenges and lessons from the quarter century just ended and the opportunities for our changing practice in the years ahead.
