The Accredited Domestic Partnership Advisor^SM enhances my knowledge to serve existing clients and reinforces my credibility when reaching out to potential clients. – Jill H

Program Summary:

This graduate-level program introduces students to the unique financial planning needs of couples who are considered to be unmarried under either state or federal law, or both, and offers the opportunity to earn the Accredited Domestic Partnership Advisor^SM, or ADPA^®, designation.

The curriculum addresses the unique financial planning needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals, as well as heterosexual couples who have chosen not to marry. Specifically covered are factors and situations that cause financial planning for domestic partners to be different from financial planning for legally married spouses, including wealth transfer, taxation, retirement planning, and estate planning issues; as well as alternative planning solutions for these situations.

Upon completion of the PFP532 curriculum and the final examination, you are then eligible to apply for the Accredited Domestic Partnership Advisor^SM, or ADPA^®, designation.

• Wealth Transfers for Domestic Partners
• Federal Taxation Issues for Domestic Partners
