Estate Planning/Estate Administration Attorney (Remote, CA Licensed)
About Us:
Blacksburg Law is a boutique estate planning and estate administration firm dedicated to helping our clients create and document estate plans that meet their goals effectively. We take the time to understand our clients’ unique circumstances and aspirations, guide them toward making informed decisions, support them in communicating their wishes, and draft clear, concise documents. Our aim is to deliver results that align with our clients’ intentions, providing peace of mind as they care for themselves, their loved ones, and their charitable interests.
We are a close-knit, 6-person team that truly enjoys working together. We support each other in achieving goals, value personal time, and have fun doing what we love. We’re not your typical law firm – we’re friendly, approachable, take pride in clear communication, exceptional service, and dedicated to creating a positive work environment.

About You:
The ideal candidate will have at least two years of experience in estate planning, trusts, probate, and/or wealth management.

Ideally, our new attorney will grow into a leadership role within our foundational planning group and assist our senior attorneys with high-net-worth planning engagements.
Duties include working with our streamlined drafting system, designing estate plans for new clients, managing engagements to completion, and coordinating occasional estate administration cases for our existing clients.

- A competitive salary in the range of $95,000-$125,000 (depending on experience and location) with contributions toward health benefits, a 401k plan, and an incentive program.
- A positive and supportive work environment where you can develop your skills, collaborate with other professionals, and invest in others.
What You Should Have:
- The right mindset for remote work, collaboration, and growth.
- Prior experience with estate planning, whether professional or personal.
- Licensed in California or eligible through the Registered Military Spouse Attorney program.
