Fiduciary Trust International of the South has welcomed three new board members.

Brett Abess, Thad Adams and Susan Strickroot Adams have been elected to the board of Fiduciary Trust International of the South.

Abess is a partner at ThinkLAB Ventures, his family office formed in 2008 after the sale of his family-owned City National Bank of Florida. 

Adams, meanwhile, is a senior vice president responsible for leasing and investment sales at Allen Morris Company, which is headquartered in Coral Gables, FL. 

Strickroot Adams is a partner in the Coral Gables law firm of Adams & Adams, concentrating her practice in the areas of estate planning and probate. Before entering the private practice of law, she served as senior vice president and trust counsel of Fiduciary Trust International of the South.

“All three of our newly elected board members are long established Floridians with significant ties to the community, and their appointments reflect our continued commitment to South Florida,” said Gail Cohen, chair and general trust counsel at Fiduciary Trust Company International, a wealth management firm and wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton Investments.
