ACTEC Fellows Institutes provide professional development for law associates interested in advancing their trust and estate education.
ACTEC’s commitment to developing future trust and estate counselors is evident in the creation of the ACTEC Fellows Institutes, which educates attorneys throughout the United States. The Institutes offer a six-day program of intensive trust and estate education over a one-year period for third through sixth-year law associates. Programs are designed to develop the trust and estate profession’s future leaders through a series of in-depth educational presentations.
To attend an ACTEC Fellows Institute, students must be nominated by an ACTEC Fellow from any region. Please use the “Find an Attorney” search on this webpage to find an ACTEC Fellow. For information on nominations, please see the Institutes’ websites below.
