Throughout each case, you'll provide comprehensive support to client and deliver timely progress updates. The Probate and Estate Planning Paralegal works with courts, creditors, beneficiaries, financial institutions, and other professionals to help keep cases moving and support timely resolution.

Our ideal Probate and Estate Planning Paralegal has an associate/bachelor's degree, paralegal certification, or equivalent legal work experience. Texas notary certification (or willingness to obtain) would be a plus.
