What is an estate conservator?

Estate conservators are individuals or organizations appointed by a court to manage and protect the financial affairs and property of someone who is unable to do so themselves, often due to incapacity, age, or disability. Their responsibilities may include paying bills, managing investments, collecting income, and ensuring the person’s assets are used for their benefit. Estate conservators must act in the best interests of the person they are appointed to serve, and their actions are often overseen by the court to ensure accountability.

What are some common challenges faced by estate conservators in managing the assets of incapacitated individuals?

Estate Conservators often encounter challenges such as managing complex financial portfolios, ensuring timely payment of bills and taxes, and safeguarding assets from potential fraud or mismanagement. They must also communicate effectively with family members, attorneys, and the court, often mediating disputes or clarifying decisions. Balancing legal compliance with the best interests of the individual requires strong organizational skills, discretion, and a thorough understanding of fiduciary responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an estate conservator, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Estate Conservator, you need strong knowledge of fiduciary duties, estate law, and financial management, often supported by experience in legal, accounting, or trust administration roles. Familiarity with case management systems, financial planning software, and court filing procedures is typically required. Excellent organization, ethical judgment, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for dealing with clients, beneficiaries, and legal professionals. These competencies ensure the responsible management and protection of assets, compliance with legal requirements, and the smooth execution of conservatorship duties.

Job description

New Mexico Probate Of Counsel Attorney

Location: New Mexico; Albuquerque preferred, but candidates anywhere in New Mexico will be considered
Role Type: Of Counsel / Flexible Part-Time Relationship
Practice Area: Probate, Estate Administration, Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Related Court Matters
Compensation: 55% of collected billings, or hourly rate.

About the Role

Baker Law Group is seeking an experienced New Mexico Probate Of Counsel Attorney to support our growing New Mexico practice. This is a flexible of counsel opportunity for an attorney who understands New Mexico probate courts, estate administration, guardianship, conservatorship, and related court procedures.

This role is ideal for an attorney who has their own practice or other professional commitments but is open to taking on additional probate-related matters referred by a growing multi-state law firm. We are looking for someone who can help us serve New Mexico clients locally, appear in court when needed, and provide practical, reliable support on probate and estate-related matters.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities may include:

  • Handle New Mexico probate and estate administration matters
  • Represent clients in probate court proceedings
  • Assist with guardianship and conservatorship matters
  • Prepare and review probate pleadings, petitions, motions, notices, and related filings
  • Attend hearings, status conferences, and other court appearances as needed
  • Advise clients regarding probate process, timelines, required documents, and next steps
  • Communicate clearly with clients, courts, opposing counsel, and internal Baker Law Group team members
  • Help evaluate new probate-related matters for scope, complexity, and fit
  • Support contested probate or probate-adjacent litigation where experience allows
  • Provide local New Mexico court knowledge and procedural guidance

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is a New Mexico-licensed attorney with meaningful probate experience and comfort handling matters with limited hand-holding.

Strong candidates will have:

  • Active New Mexico bar admission
  • Probate, estate administration, guardianship, or conservatorship experience
  • Familiarity with New Mexico probate court procedures
  • Ability to appear in court when needed
  • Strong client communication skills
  • Practical judgment and professionalism
  • Ability to manage referred matters responsibly and independently
  • Responsiveness to clients and internal firm contacts
  • Comfort working in an of counsel relationship
  • Good standing with the New Mexico bar

Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following areas is especially helpful:

  • Probate administration
  • Contested probate
  • Guardianship and conservatorship matters
  • Estate planning
  • Trust administration
  • Fiduciary disputes
  • Real estate or business issues connected to estates
  • Civil litigation involving probate-related disputes

Work Arrangement

This is an of counsel relationship, not a traditional full-time employee role. The volume of work may vary depending on firm needs and client demand.

Albuquerque is preferred, but candidates located anywhere in New Mexico will be considered. Some in-person appearances may be required depending on the court, matter type, and client need.

Why Partner with Baker Law Group?

Baker Law Group is expanding its New Mexico presence and has a growing need for experienced local probate support. This opportunity allows the right attorney to receive referred matters, work with a supportive legal team, and help serve clients who need probate and estate-related guidance in New Mexico.

This is a strong fit for a probate attorney who is open to additional work, values flexibility, and wants to build a productive long-term relationship with a growing firm.
