ACTEC is a national nonprofit association that brings together roughly 2,400 lawyers and law professors from the United States and abroad, specializing in trust and estate law. Fellows are selected by their peers for demonstrated expertise in wills and trusts, estate planning, probate, trust administration, and related areas. The organization provides technical commentary on legislation and regulations, while refraining from taking positions on policy or political objectives. Based in Washington, DC, ACTEC was established in 1949 and operates within the law practice sector with a focus on probate, trust and tax law and professional-practice standards. In March 2026, ACTEC announced leadership appointments for the ACTEC Law Journal, naming Professor Reid Kress Weisbord as Editor (2026-2028) and Professor Ronald J.
