The audience was energetic and well focused on the presentation. Residents came loaded with specific questions on a multitude of subjects — Trusts, Florida law, Power of Attorney, Will Registration in Florida, limits on gift giving, and Probate risks. Al Pandl Law members were well organized and intent on helping us to produce a very successful seminar! Thanks to all those who attended!
