Weintraub Tobin attorneys Gary Rothstein, Kelly Dankbar, and Evan Winet presented at the 29th Annual PFAC Educational Conference in San Diego, CA.
The conference, which was held May 15-18, 2024, provided comprehensive education for professional fiduciaries. The presentation from Weintraub’s Trusts & Estates Group, titled “Maintaining Balance on A High Wire: Managing Trust Assets While Also Managing Beneficiary Expectations,” was held on day one of the conference on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 7:15 AM. The presentation guided the private professional fiduciary in managing assets, some of which have more of an emotional component than other assets, and how to fairly, but firmly, manage expectations of beneficiaries concerning the assets.
