Mission Statement

It is the Mission of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC) to: Promote the multi-disciplinary approach to estate planning by supporting local estate planning councils and their members and by encouraging the formation of new councils.

To that end we are committed to:

• Encourage attainment of the Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®) and Estate Planning Law Specialist (EPLS) designations by qualified estate planning professionals.
   
• Support efforts of The NAEPC Education Foundation to increase public awareness of the importance of estate planning by a team of professional advisors.

Vision Statement

The National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC) will be the association of choice for professionals engaged in the practice of estate planning because:

• Unsurpassed education and networking opportunities are provided by attending local council meetings and NAEPC's annual national conference; and
   
• The public demands its estate planners bear earned and recognized credentials, including the Accredited Estate Planner® designation (AEP®), conferred only by NAEPC, and the Estate Planning Law Specialist (EPLS), conferred only by the NAEPC affiliate Estate Law Specialist Board. Both designations are among the few that meet this qualification.
