  • Support preparation and organization of materials for estate tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns (in coordination with CPAs)
  • Prepare correspondence and documentation related to distributions and beneficiary communications
  • Maintain and organize detailed client files and administration records
  • Assist with obtaining EINs, opening estate/trust accounts, and coordinating with financial institutions

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in trust and estate administration
  • Working knowledge of probate processes and trust administration procedures
  • Experience handling asset transfers, funding, and beneficiary distributions
  • Familiarity with estate and fiduciary accounting concepts
  • Basic understanding of estate and fiduciary tax reporting processes

  • Paralegal certificate or equivalent work experience required

Nice to have
