This CLE presentation will explore a wide range of Florida legal and planning considerations, including: who can be a personal representative of a Floridian’s estate?

What are exception creditors and how might a special trust known as the exception creditor trust help? Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts (SLATs) are one of the most popular planning techniques. What FL laws affect SLATs and what planning opportunities do those present?
