The Salt Lake Estate Planning Council draws its members from Salt Lake County, Utah. Our members practice in, or reside in Salt Lake City as Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Trust Officers, Insurance Agents and Financial Planners, all of whom are actively engaged in estate planning. We have monthly luncheons which are held on the third Wednesday of every month from September to May. The lunches begin at 12:00 p.m. and go for one hour. Our speakers offer a variety of topics while the friendly atmosphere gives our members and guests a chance to network and connect with other local professionals. If you are interested in attending our monthly luncheons, please see our calendar for more information.
