We’re headed to Orlando for the 60th Annual Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning — and we’re excited to be part of this milestone event!

As the nation’s premier conference for estate planning professionals, Heckerling brings together leaders shaping the future of legacy planning. UCP looks forward to sparking meaningful conversations about the power of planned giving and sharing creative ways to incorporate charitable tools — such as trusts, annuities, and donor-advised funds — into estate plans.

Planned and charitable gifts provide critical, long-term investments that ensure UCP can continue improving the quality of life for people with cerebral palsy and other intellectual and developmental disabilities for generations to come.

If you're heading to Orlando for this important event, stop by booth 517 to learn how UCP can help your clients leave a lasting legacy while maximizing their philanthropic impact.
