The Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning is the nation’s premier conference for estate planning professionals, offering unparalleled educational and professional development opportunities for all members of the estate planning team. The program covers topics of timely interest to attorneys, trust officers, accountants, charitable giving professionals, insurance advisors, elder law specialists, wealth management professionals, and nonprofit advisors. The Institute is also the home of the nation’s largest exhibit hall dedicated entirely to the estate planning industry.

In addition to traditional estate planning topics, the 54th Institute offers guidance on planning effectively in today’s uncertain and unpredictable times. The Recent Developments Panel analyzes the most significant developments of 2019, providing both practical planning tips and a look at what might lie ahead. The Lloyd Leva Plaine Distinguished Lecture features Michael Greenwald, formerly with the U.S. Treasury Department, examining the central role of the U.S. dollar and the American banking system in dealing with new geoeconomic threats to financial and national security.
