Welcome to the Norfolk & Plymouth Estate and Business Planning Council |
Who we are...The Norfolk and Plymouth County Estate and Business Planning Council (NPEPC) was established on October 13, 1976. The NPEPC is an interdisciplinary organization for professionals involved in estate planning. Since its inception, in 1976, the Council's primary objective has been to provide a better understanding of the services performed by attorneys, life underwriters, trust officers, accountants, financial advisors, planned giving professionals and others substantially involved in estate planning and to promote cooperation among them. Our meetings provide a medium for discussion of various, up-to-date estate planning topics of common interest. In addition to the excellent educational information and technical content, our meetings afford our members the opportunity to network, meet old friends and make new ones within the Norfolk and Plymouth County professional community

A message from the President of NPEPC... Hello fellow NPEPC members, I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and was able to enjoy the beautiful weather! With Labor Day behind us, the Red Sox rolling and the Patriots about to kickoff, we are set to start a new year at the NPEPC. As your new President, I wanted to introduce myself and let you know we have an exciting year planned for the Norfolk & Plymouth Estate Planning Council. We are looking to change some things up this year, including different types of events and different locations. Your program committee has been hard at work this summer planning the events. We are kicking off the Fall schedule with a Market Update by David Smith, Chief Investment Officer at Rockland Trust, on October 4, 2018 at 110 Grill in Braintree starting at 4:00 pm, with ample time for networking as well. We have a “Year End Tax Planning Strategies” presentation by Laura K. Barooshian, CPA, MST, AEP, CAP, a Partner at DiCicco Gulman & Co., scheduled for November 1, 2018 at Lombardo’s in Randolph, which should be very appropriate given the major tax changes for 2018. On February 5, 2019 our Vice-President, Laura Riccio, will be presenting on “Digital Assets”. In addition, the program committee is currently planning our Annual Meeting in June 2019 – stay tuned. Our Membership Committee has also been diligently working to create different ideas to reinvigorate the council and increase and attract new members. They are currently planning a Fall Networking event for existing members as well as guests and potential new members. I look forward to seeing many of you at this upcoming event! I have been a member of the Council for many years and I am looking forward to a great upcoming year as your new President! I have always found the Presentations hosted by the Council to be very worthwhile and informative, as well as fun. The collective knowledge and expertise of our members is truly impressive. With your help and active participation we can make this another great year for the Norfolk and Plymouth Estate Planning Council and I look forward to seeing you at the events throughout the year!
