Two of the most senior figures at Key Private Bank's wealth division have become fellows of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.

Key Family Wealth, a division of Key Private Bank, today announced that Jeffrey Getty, managing director of family wealth consulting, and Edwin Morrow, national wealth specialist, had been elected Fellows by American College of Trust & Estate Counsel, a national estate planning and trust organization.

ACTEC is a professional organization with around 2,700 lawyers.

He has significant transactional experience in private offerings of equity and debt, mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations and spin-offs. He is a CFP, member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and frequent speaker on tax, trust, asset protection, captive insurance companies and estate planning strategies.
