Probate paralegals carry a heavy load. Preparing court filings, tracking down assets, managing creditor deadlines, organizing accountings, and fielding beneficiary calls - all at the same time, often across multiple open matters. Without a clear stage-by-stage system, it is easy to fall behind, lose track of where a file stands, or inadvertently cross into territory that belongs to the attorney.
This 6-hour program walks you through the entire probate process from your perspective as the paralegal doing the work. You will get step-by-step guidance for each task you own, from completing the initial intake checklist to assembling the final court submission package. Every stage comes with practical checklists and model documents you can put to use immediately. Register today!
