About Us
Who We Are
The Council was founded in 1970. We are a volunteer leada organization with more than 50 members who are among the most knowledgeable estate planning practitioners in the area.
Our membership includes accountants, attorneys, care providers, insurance professionals, planned giving experts, trust officers and wealth managers who strive to be at the top of their respective fields.
The Council is an active member of the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC), which is an organization that is focused on establishing and monitoring the highest professional and educational standards for estate planners and affiliated estate planning councils. The NAEPC promotes public awareness of the quality of services rendered by professionals who meet these standards. It promotes cooperation and understanding of the different roles estate planning practitioners have with each other, their clients and the general public.
Where We Meet
We have monthly meetings from September to May at the beautiful Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. We also host an annual Networking Social and a Holiday Party at exciting venues around the county.
At our monthly meetings we offer educational and networking opportunities through presentations from industry leaders about planning techniques, current laws and shared experiences pertaining to the many disciplines of estate planning. Our meetings provide the opportunity to visit with friends and establish new relationships.
The Pinellas County Estate Planning Council is a member of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC).
