On the probate side, help families navigate the highly sensitive filings in guardianship of estate or person, conservatorships, and reap the rewards of preemptive planning via trust administration.
Also, capitalize on your interest in networking by connecting with fertility clinics, adoption agencies, real estate brokers, and financial advisors or title specialists when time permits. The ideal candidate shares our commitment to client empowerment and has a meticulous eye for checklists, disclosures, and case control.
