The Opportunity

This role is ideal for an experienced estate planning attorney—potentially a semi-retired professional or someone seeking reduced hours—who enjoys practicing law but is looking for flexibility and meaningful client impact without the demands of a full-time role.

• Review and revise estate planning documents (revocable trusts, wills, powers of attorney, advance directives)
• Assist with trust administration and probate matters as needed (no litigation, as we do not handle litigation)
• Provide guidance on more complex planning strategies
• Conduct client meetings
• Collaborate with our internal team (attorneys, paralegals, and admin staff) to ensure high-quality client service

• Active California Bar license (required)
• 5+ years of experience in estate planning and/or trust administration
• Strong drafting and issue-spotting skills
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, team-based environment
• Ability to work independently and manage assignments with minimal oversight
