Home Based Guardianship Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Grace Estate Law, we believe that legacy planning is about more than just drafting documents—it’s about providing resilience in the face of life’s most difficult transitions. Our core mission is to empower our clients to create meaningful legacies with confidence and Grace.

When a loved one passes away or becomes disabled, the path forward is often uncertain. We act as trusted advisors who listen to clients' stories, hold space for their challenges, and guide them toward a future that feels secure. We are looking for a dedicated Paralegal who shares our heart for service and our commitment to integrity in the practice of probate and guardianship law.

Why You’ll Love Being Part of Our Team

• Meaningful Impact: You aren't just managing files; you are helping families protect what matters most and helping families navigate complex legal systems with clarity and peace of mind. Because of your experience, you are able to competently help families navigate the court processes for probate and guardianship without the need for extensive oversight and supervision.
• A Culture of Integrity: We live by our values: Integrity, Accountability, Transparency, Empathy, and Grace. You are applying to this job because you have the legal experience clients need and are emotionally equipped to provide the empathetic legal support they seek.
• Growth & Support: We are a rapidly expanding firm that values professional development. You will work in a tech-savvy, collaborative environment where your contributions are truly seen and valued. You will receive mentoring and have the opportunity to ask the "why" questions in a judgment-free zone.
• Work-Life Harmony: We offer competitive compensation, health/disability insurance, 401(k) matching, and a hybrid schedule (work from home Fridays!) to support your personal well-being.
