Employer job description
From Build My Great Team's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Bellingham, Washington | Full-Time | Hybrid
Flat-Fee Practice | Mentorship | A Real Path to Ownership
Limitless Law PLLC is an award-winning Bellingham firm serving clients across Whatcom County and Washington State in estate planning, probate, trusts, real estate, and business law. We are hiring an associate attorney who wants a long-term role, real client responsibility, and a path toward ownership.
About the Role
About 75% of the work is estate planning, probate, and trust administration. The rest is real estate and business transactional work for existing clients. You will have client contact from the start, manage your own matters, and work directly with the firm owner for mentorship and support.
The firm serves a diverse client base, including many LGBTQ+ and ethically non-monogamous families, so planning is often customized. Business development is not expected in your first year. This is a hybrid role with regular time in our Bellingham office.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage estate planning, probate, and trust administration matters from intake through completion
- Draft and advise on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and community property agreements
- Handle probate filings, creditor claims, inventories, and distributions, and advise personal representatives and trustees
- Handle related real estate and business matters, including deeds, purchase and sale agreements, and entity formation
- How Performance Is Measured
- Most matters are flat fee; probate bills hourly. You are measured on matters completed, client outcomes, and the revenue your work produces, so efficient, quality work is rewarded. Production goals are set together during your first 30 days.
Requirements
- Required: At least one year of estate planning or probate experience
- Active Washington State Bar license in good standing, or eligible for admission in Washington
- Strong drafting skills and confidence with clients in sensitive conversations
- A plus: Small-firm experience managing matters from start to finish
- Real estate or business transactional experience
