The CEA designation is designed to provide applicants with broad, practical knowledge in all of the 17 disciplines required to advise an executor/executrix. This knowledge empowers you to engage with executors; the most trusted and influential people in their testator parents’ lives and those with vested moral and legal responsibility for successful estate settlement.
Depending on your profession, you’ll want to engage executors, but you’ll need to be recognizable to the executor as the professional who can help them. The Certified Executor Advisor (CEA) designation makes it clear.
