There is a limit of 120 members comprised of lawyers, insurance agents, brokers, accountants, trust officers and financial planners. Applicants require 2 years of relevant experience.


Members must be committed to the purposes of the Council, which is dedicated to continuing education and the exchange of ideas in connection with the estate planning process, to ensuring excellence of service, and to fellowship.

Memberships are annual and run from September 1 to August 31.

To apply for membership, please complete the Online Application form and attach your curriculum vitae and list three references. References can be from any existing member of the Estate Planning Council of Toronto.

Members MUST ATTEND four meetings each year. Should illness or other mitigating circumstances prevent a member from attending the requisite number of meetings the member should contact the Membership Chair to request an exception.

Attendance

Attendance is tracked by members signing in on the sheets, which are placed on the table immediately to the right of the main entrance to the dining room. Each member and all guests must SIGN IN at every meeting attended. If a member fails to sign in, the Executive will have no record of the attendance and the member will be noted as absent.

A member can also check his or her own attendance record by logging in to the membership pages.

Special Dietary Requirements

If a member or a guest has special dietary requirements, please indicate your meal preference via the RSVP system no later than the Thursday preceding the meeting date. Late requests may not be accommodated.
