Abstract :While the increase of awareness for Islamic legacy planning encourages the need to have a competent Islamic legacy planner, the main challenge is a mismatch of talent pool between what isrequired by the clients and whatis offered by full-fledged Islamic rust companies in Malaysia. Thus, this paper argues for a competency framework for Islamic legacy planners within the full-fledged Islamic trust companies in Malaysia. Prior research reveals that the competency requirements for Islamic legacy planners were still not developed even though there is a need for it. There is indeed an urgent need to draft the competency requirements which will include the knowledge, skills, attributes and other characteristics requirements toensure an adequate supply of competent Islamic legacy planners to meet the expanding market demand. This paper proposes a model as a basis for competency framework for Islamic legacy planners that can uphold their effective roles serving the Islamic legacy planning industry.
