About Us
The Estate Planning Council of the Lehigh Valley (EPCLV) is a non-profit organization consisting of members from various professional areas such as attorneys, accountants, trust officers, insurance, financial advisors and planned giving. Founded in 1967, our local council continues to grow, now exceeding 130+ professionals and allow for retiree and student members. The primary focus is on serving membership by providing opportunities to enhance their professional skills through educational programs and expanding their collaborative network of professionals serving in our community.
During our program year the Council hosts four continuing education seminars (each 2 hours), facilitated by outstanding speakers, addressing a wide variety of estate planning related topics. In addition, the Council partners annually with the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation, providing membership with access to supplemental educational programs and networking opportunities.
For the benefit of the public and to members, we provide the community access to the Council's membership directory. Through this resource, Lehigh Valley residents can access a list of estate planning practitioners committed to professional excellence.
The council is a proud member of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils, the premier organization for estate planning professionals.
