The third week of October was designated as National Estate Planning Awareness Week by HR 1499 (on Sept. 27, 2008) as a result of lobbying by the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC). The Philadelphia Estate Planning Council (PEPC), which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary next year, has been the largest member of NAEPC for over a decade now.

Professional associations have gradually been making efforts to jump on the bandwagon to help better educate the public about the importance of attending to estate planning sooner rather than later. Last year, as part of National Estate Planning Awareness Week, the American Bar Association offered estate planning information, including a webinar, for the benefit of the general public at www.estateplanhelp.org, and several NAEPC member councils have hosted local “Estate Planning Day” programs for their communities over the last few years.
