Membership » Why a Designation

Why Earn an ASEL Designation?

ASEL membership designations help estate liquidators communicate their level of professional experience and participation in ASEL. They give clients, referral sources, and other professionals a clear way to understand a member’s experience level.

Each designation corresponds to an ASEL membership level and its published eligibility requirements. Members may use the designation associated with their membership while their membership remains active and in good standing.
