Message from the
President
Lawrence M. Lehmann, JD, AEP®
Lehmann Norman & Marcus LC
New Orleans, LA
As the NAEPC leadership prepares to gather for its first of two yearly
face-to-face board meetings in early May, I am excited to share with you the
exciting progress that has been made during the first several months of 2016.
This organization, your organization, is truly experiencing a transformation,
and we are glad that you are here with us for the journey!
Much of the association's focus since the latter part of 2015 has been on
providing additional resources surrounding multi-disciplinary teaming, and in
weaving the teaming theme through all of the activities of NAEPC. While our core
belief has always been that the team concept of estate planning best serves the
client, we have taken steps and employed initiatives to provide additional
guidance on the matter through the white paper "High-Performance
Teaming & Professional Collaboration: A Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach to
Estate Planning," taken a hard look at who belongs "at the table", and
worked to spread the teaming message over all of the activities of the
association. As a direct result of these efforts, you will be able to attend a
very special complimentary webinar on May 17th entitled "Complimentary
Webinar: Five Critical Best Practices for Collaboration," hosted jointly with Trusts & Estates
magazine. In addition, the 53rd Annual
Advanced Estate Planning Strategies Conference, scheduled from November
16-18, 2016 in Arizona, boasts a well-rounded program that combines the
technical with the thoughtful for an exceptional attendee experience. Won't you
consider joining us?
Finally, if you are looking for the place where your knowledge and skill
intersect with a strong and ongoing commitment to the collaborative approach to
estate planning, look no further than the
Accredited Estate Planner® designation program! Awarded by NAEPC to
credentialed professionals who meet special requirements of education,
experience, professional reputation, and character, the AEP® designation helps
both clients and colleagues understand your belief in, and dedication to, the
team concept of estate planning. Please consider becoming an AEP® today!

Who
Are We?
by John S. Scott, Jr., CPA, AEP®, CGMA |
Estate planning, now more than ever, should occur with a team approach
involving cross-professional disciplines assisting the client to meet their
goals. The team needs a balance sheet, a summary of the current estate plan, and
an understanding of the clients' wishes and goals. With those facts, planning
points can be identified and shared with clients that align with their goals.
