I am a paralegal with over 20 years experience working with Trusts and Estates attorneys. For the last 9 years, I have worked remotely from my home office without interruption to my regular duties. I am familiar with all aspects of estate administration from probate (NY, NJ, CT) to final accounting and distribution, including preparation of federal and state estate tax returns. My experience in estate planning includes drafting Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Living Wills, and other planning documents. In addition, I have extensive experience with all general administrative support functions, such as preparing written correspondence, document creation, proofreading, organizing files and data entry. I have also provided assistance to a Tax Certiorari, which required the greatest attention to detail and a meticulous approach. I excel in analysis, problem-solving, and interfacing with clients with sensitivity. I am detail-oriented, organized, and can quickly learn new skills needed to complete tasks. My experience and skills equip me for a variety of projects involving legal document preparation, virtual assistance, data entry, form creation, file organization, document production, professional writing, proofreading, bookkeeping, transcription, and expert use of word processing and spreadsheet programs.
