New "Facebook" Trusts and Estate Attorneys Group Formed
Estate lawyers now have another reason to consider opening a Facebook account, that is if they haven't already done so. A new Facebook group for estate practitioners has been created south of the border by estate attorney Jill L. Miller of Jill Miller & Associates P.C., New York, NY. The group's mandate is to "share ideas and recent legal developments, network, and discuss common issues and challenges facing our area of practice".
This trend was predicted last year by lawyer Kevin O'Keefe of Lexblog who remarked on his blog that Facebook was fast becoming a growing force for innovative and forward-thinking lawyers and business people.
According to a recent posting on the Wills, Trusts and Estates Prof Blog, the new group is intended as a networking platform for trust and estate attorneys with at least 2 years experience in any area including private practice, government, academia, family offices, banks and brokerage firms. The founder anticipates that the group will be both national and international in scope and will hopefully enable its members to network and exchange ideas with colleagues all over the world.
