        PORTLAND, Maine (October 17, 2022) – Verrill Partner Anya F. Endsley recently graduated from The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel’s (ACTEC) New England Fellows Institute.

Taught by some of the top trust and estate experts in New England, the six-session program took an in-depth look at some 33 topics in the field.

        Endsley focuses her practice in all aspects of estate planning, probate administration and trust administration, and counsels clients on tax planning, charitable giving and sophisticated wealth transfer strategies. She also is skilled at planning for shared family real estate and business succession planning.
