About the Role
A California law firm is looking for an exceptionally accurate, self-directed remote professional to prepare fiduciary court accountings and the complete filing packages that go with them. You will take each matter from raw financial records to a filing-ready package covering probate, conservatorship, trust, and Public Administrator accountings. You'll work under a licensed California attorney and senior staff, using firm templates, and you'll flag anything that needs legal judgment rather than guessing.
Schedule
Fully remote, Tuesday to Saturday, 1:30 AM to 10:30 AM IST. This overlaps with the firm's California workday (Monday to Friday, about 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM PDT / 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST), so you'll have real-time access to the attorneys and senior staff.
What You'll Do
- Review the electronic case file and build a matter-opening checklist of received and missing records, deadlines, and open questions
- Code and reconcile bank, brokerage, escrow, and sale records into accounting schedules, with no unexplained variances
- Draft petitions, reports, and proposed orders from firm templates, using placeholders and issue lists instead of assumptions
- Assemble the full filing package (declarations, notices, proofs of service, exhibits, bookmarks) in Word and PDF, with a short completion memo of open items
- Send concise status updates and raise questions early
Must Have
- 3+ years in a legal-assistant, paralegal, fiduciary-accounting, bookkeeping, audit, or similar document-intensive role. A mix of legal and financial experience is strongly preferred.
- Proven experience preparing or reconciling financial schedules from bank statements and source records, with exact balancing and no forced figures
- Experience drafting or assembling formal legal documents for U.S. law firms, courts, fiduciaries, financial institutions, or regulated professional services
Technical skills
- Advanced Microsoft Excel: formulas, filters, sorting, date handling, reconciliation, and error checking
- Advanced Microsoft Word: formatting, tables, page numbering, and template-based drafting
- Advanced Adobe Acrobat or comparable PDF software: bookmarks, redaction, combining files, and quality control
Core abilities
- Excellent written English, with the ability to draft precise legal and financial narratives
- Exceptional attention to detail and numerical accuracy, with every figure traceable to a source document
- Ability to work independently from written templates and instructions, and to recognize when legal judgment or clarification is needed
- Strong issue-spotting: missing records, statement gaps, duplicate payments, unusual transactions, and inconsistencies
- Strong organization and follow-through, including meeting deadlines and communicating early when something is blocked
Nice to Have
- U.S. probate, trust, estate, guardianship, conservatorship, elder law, fiduciary administration, or Public Administrator matters
- Preparing fiduciary, estate, trust, or court accountings, or audit workpapers
California familiarity
- California legal documents, Judicial Council forms, probate pleadings, or California court filing procedures
Team and tools
- Supporting a professional fiduciary, probate or trust attorney, accountant, auditor, or estate-administration team
- Legal case-management systems, cloud document platforms, secure remote desktops, or time-entry systems
Education
- Formal education in law, legal studies, accounting, finance, business, or audit
