Certify as an Estate Planning Law Specialist,
the ONLY ABA-Accredited Certification Program in Estate Planning
WealthCounsel and the Estate Law Specialist Board, Inc., have teamed up again to provide an opportunity for members of both organizations to participate in the advanced estate planning review course and online proctored examination for the Estate Planning Law Specialist (EPLS) Certification.
Certification as an Estate Planning Law Specialist is the most effective way for an attorney to elevate their practice and to separate from the competition. Available through the Estate Law Specialist Board, Inc., this ABA-accredited, attorney-run subsidiary of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils, provides the only national program for board-certification as an estate planning specialist. For more information and standards, visit http://www.naepc.org/designations/estate-law/introduction .
There are two parts to the virtual experience and sign-up process; the review course and the proctored exam.
Part ONE

Thursday, June 20, 2024 ∙ 1:00 pm ET – 4:00 pm ET

The course will provide a comprehensive review of the materials covered on the EPLS certification exam.

An attorney is welcome to sit for the exam without attending the review course, but must register and complete the application by June 17, 2024, to do so.
Prior to the date of the exam, attendees will receive detailed information that includes instructions to join the virtual exam room.
Many states permit lawyers to hold themselves out as specialists if a certification is awarded by an ABA-accredited program. Interested attorneys should consult the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and refer to the rules of the state(s) in which he/she is licensed to determine whether restrictions are placed on use of the EPLS certification.
