The Estate Registry Recognized as 2026 Wealth Management Industry Awards Finalist for Advancing Estate Planning Education

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Estate Registry, a leading provider of a suite of end-of-life admin services, today announced that it has been named a Finalist in the 2026 Wealth Management Industry Awards, also known as “the Wealthies,” for estate planning thought leadership.

The Wealth Management Industry Awards recognize organizations and individuals who demonstrate innovation, leadership, and meaningful contributions to advancing the wealth management profession. The Estate Registry was selected as a finalist for its ongoing efforts to assist families, financial professionals, and estate planning practitioners in emphasizing the importance of proactive legacy planning and the critical role organized estate documentation plays in protecting wealth across generations.

Through its educational content, industry commentary, and advocacy for greater estate preparedness, The Estate Registry has become a trusted voice in helping individuals navigate the often-overlooked challenges associated with estate administration, asset discovery, and legacy preservation.

“We are honored to be recognized as a finalist for Estate Planning Thought Leadership,” said Howard Enders, Chief Operating Officer of The Estate Registry. “Estate planning is about far more than documents and legal processes. It’s about ensuring families are protected, wishes are honored, and legacies are preserved. This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to raising awareness around the importance of planning ahead and empowering both consumers and advisors with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate life's most important transitions.”

Now in its 12th year, the Wealthies spotlights the companies and leaders shaping the future of financial advice, wealthtech, investment solutions, and advisor growth. A panel of judges made up of top names in the industry chose the finalists and will determine the winners, which, each year, recognizes the firms and individuals who are bringing new innovations to market that make a real difference to the daily activities of financial advisors. Winners will be announced at a gala and awards ceremony in New York City on September 10th.

“The scale and quality of this year’s nominations reflect an industry that continues to evolve at an extraordinary pace,” said David Armstrong, Managing Director of Editorial and Content Strategies for the Wealth Management Group at Informa. “What stood out to our judges was not just product innovation, but the growing sophistication around how firms are helping advisors operate, communicate, personalize advice, and build sustainable businesses. The finalists represent a broad cross-section of organizations pushing the industry forward in meaningful ways.”
