Job Description
Overview
I’m a business owner seeking a strategic estate planning attorney to help design a comprehensive estate plan during an active divorce.
This is not a basic will project. I need someone who understands how to protect assets, structure ownership thoughtfully, and plan for my child—all while ensuring alignment with ongoing legal proceedings.
About Me (Context for Fit)
- Founder & CEO of an established communications firm (10+ years)
- Multiple business ventures + revenue streams
- Currently preparing for divorce mediation
- One minor child
- Based in Virginia
What I Need (Scope)
I’m looking for both strategy and execution across:
Estate Planning Foundation
- Will
- Revocable Trust (if appropriate)
- Power of Attorney (financial + medical)
Asset Protection + Structuring
- Protecting business ownership, IP, and future earnings
- Clear separation of marital vs. separate property
- Guidance on titling, beneficiaries, and trust layering
Child-Focused Planning
- Guardianship structure
- Trust design for inheritance + education
- Controlled distribution strategy
Business + Legacy Planning
- Succession planning
- Continuity of operations
- Alignment with operating agreements
Divorce-Aware Planning
- Ensuring nothing conflicts with current legal strategy
- Understanding timing and sequencing of decisions
Who This Is For
You are:
- An experienced estate planning attorney (U.S.-based; VA familiarity is a plus)
- Comfortable working with entrepreneurs and complex asset structures
- Able to think strategically—not just draft documents
- Clear, direct, and efficient in communication
Engagement
- Paid consultation to start
- Potential full estate plan engagement
- Opportunity for ongoing advisory relationship
