AAEAP Credentialed Estate Analysts
The American Association of Estate Analysts and Planners (AAEAP) is a professional association that supports the training, certification, and ethical standards of Estate Analysts involved in estate sales, estate settlement support, downsizing, and personal property disposition.
AAEAP-credentialed professionals work with families, executors, attorneys, and planners to evaluate estate contents, document decisions, and coordinate estate sales or other forms of disposition in an organized and defensible manner.
What an AAEAP-Credentialed Estate Analyst Does
Estate Analysts trained under AAEAP guidelines provide structured, methodical support during estate transitions. Their role focuses on clarity, documentation, and coordination rather than quick liquidation alone.
- Inventory and catalog personal property
- Assist with valuation and disposition planning
- Coordinate estate sales, online consignment, donation, or removal
- Maintain audit trails and records for executors and professionals
- Collaborate with attorneys, financial planners, and appraisers
Why Association Credentials Matter
Estate settlement often involves fiduciary responsibility, multiple stakeholders, and emotionally sensitive decisions. Association-based credentials help ensure that the professional guiding the process follows recognized standards, ethical practices, and documented procedures.
Executors and families often seek credentialed support when searching for estate sale assistance, estate planning support, or help managing the sale or disposition of household contents.
AAEAP and Estate Sales
While AAEAP does not operate estate sales directly, it supports professionals who coordinate estate sales and consignment as part of a broader estate settlement strategy. This may include traditional sales, online estate sales, or hybrid approaches depending on the needs of the estate.
Credentialed Estate Analysts focus on helping families and executors make informed decisions rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all sales model.
