American Academy Awards Fellow Designation to Jeffrey Molever

Posted On 9/11/2008

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – September 11, 2008 – The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) announced that Jeffrey P. Molever of The Molever Law Firm has been awarded the Academy Fellow designation.  The Fellow program recognizes Academy Members who demonstrate advanced expertise and significant practical experience in the estate planning, trust, tax planning, guardianship, probate and estate administration fields.

“Our Members already meet a challenging set of professional standards,” said Jack O’Drobinak, Chairman of the Education Advisory Board of the Academy.  “Many, like Jeff, strive to further distinguish themselves so we established the Fellow program to recognize truly outstanding professional achievement.”

The Fellow designation is based on rigorous criteria established by the Academy, the Board of Governors, and the Education Advisory Board. A Fellow will be designated for a period of five years, with recertification required at the end of each term. Members must meet their 36-hour annual Academy educational requirement specifically in estate, tax, probate or elder law in each of the preceding five years. Along with the continued learning requirements, Fellows must demonstrate substantial practical experience by handling 30 tax planning matters; 50 estate and incapacity plans; 40 trust and estate administration procedures; 40 completed non-trust transfers of decedents’ assets; and 20 litigated matters, contested hearings, or court proceedings.

Mr. Molever also underwent peer review by three legal professionals with extensive estate planning or elder law experience familiar with his legal expertise and ethical character.  Peer review ensures that Fellows maintain high standards and are held in the highest regard by their local legal communities.

“Clients are the main beneficiaries of this program,” said Sanford Fisch, Chief Executive Officer of the Academy.  “The Fellow designation helps the legal consumer find attorneys with a proven track record of excellence in the estate planning field. Mr. Molever has been a member of the Academy since 1996, and we congratulate him on achieving this exceptional designation.”
