• Coordinate communications among beneficiaries, accountants, and other professionals.
• Maintain accurate digital records and provide general administrative support.

• Registered & bonded LDA or certified paralegal (CA) preferred.
• Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets for tracking and summaries.
• Strong organization, clear communication, professionalism, and discretion.
• Working knowledge of California probate procedures and required filings.
