61st Annual Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning runs Jan 11-15, 2027 at Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, with tickets from USD 1,200.
The largest and most established estate planning conference in the United States, running five days each January. Draws attorneys, CPAs, trust officers and wealth advisors for technical sessions on wealth transfer, fiduciary tax and trust administration.
Why it matters
The Heckerling Institute, run by the University of Miami School of Law since the 1960s, is the nation's leading conference for estate planning professionals, running Jan 11-15, 2027 in Orlando and drawing an audience in the low thousands. It is where the estate-planning bar and CPA firms serving high-net-worth clients reset on new legislation and case law each January, and at USD 1,200 early for up to 28 credit hours it is strong value for CPE.
