The purpose of certifying expert Trust & Estate Law practitioners is to promote excellent practice among these practitioners who serve Indiana Clients or Non-Indiana Clients in respect of Indiana Matters. Expert attorneys exceed basic competence and demonstrate extraordinary, practical knowledge and skill. Certification as a Board Certified Indiana Trust & Estate Lawyer is an inspirational goal for experienced attorneys. The intent of the certifying process is to fairly test an attorney’s ability to display special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in Trust & Estate Law, both generally and in respect of Indiana Trust & Estate Matters.

The Indiana State Bar Association Trust & Estate Specialty Board administers this specialization program. A list of certified specialists, certification requirements and additional resources may be found at www.indianatrustestatelawyers.org.
