Trusts and estate attorneys shift into high gear when one of their clients passes away, and the estate goes into probate. The probate process can take months or years and requires different levels of support during different parts of the process. Meanwhile, clients expect to receive and execute their Wills and other estate planning documents in a timely manner. How can this be done successfully without paying to have often idle staff?  Bright Paralegal Services can assist with a single document or provide start-to-finish help for an entire matter.

estate planning

paralegal’s probate support begins with drafting the documents to submit the estate to probate. Once the probate is underway, an experienced paralegal can draft the court-ordered notices to beneficiaries and creditors.

paralegal can also monitor the progress of an executor or personal representative, assessing whether this individual is carrying out their duties in an efficient and ethical matter and reporting concerns to the attorney. If an estate matter is contested, a virtual paralegal can be a valuable asset during discovery, preparing responsive pleadings, subpoenas, and other documents required.

Estate planning requires a large amount of document protection. A virtual paralegal can assist with preparing these documents, freeing up attorneys for court appearances, client contact, and business development. For example, the specifics of Will can be sent to a virtual paralegal after an intake, who will work it up into a first draft for the attorney to review. Paralegals can draft and present to attorneys for review for revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, and living wills.

Bright Paralegal Services can help you with one document or your entire caseload. We can assemble a service package that meets any solo attorney or small firm’s needs. Please ask us about our estate planning and probate packages.
