Legacy Law Associate Attorney/Asheville, NC

At King Law Offices, we believe Legacy Law is more than documents—it’s about people, purpose, and preserving what matters.

We are seeking a Legacy Law Attorney to join our team in Asheville or Waynesville. This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants to practice law in a way that is both technically strong and deeply human—guiding clients through decisions that shape their families, businesses, and long-term impact.

What We Do

Legacy Law focuses on helping individuals and families plan for the transfer of their assets, values, and responsibilities across generations.

Our work includes:

• Estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney)
• Trust design and implementation
• Asset protection and long-term care planning
• Business succession planning
• Estate, probate, and trust administration
• Beneficiary representation and dispute resolution
• Charitable and legacy-focused planning
• Incompetency and Guardianship
• Caregiver Agreements
• Medicaid Asset planning and application
• Adoptions

This is often a client’s legacy—and we treat it that way.

What You’ll Do

• Meet with clients to understand their family dynamics, goals, and concerns
• Design and implement customized estate and legacy plans
• Draft wills, trusts, and related planning documents
• Advise on asset protection and eligibility planning strategies
• Guide clients through probate and trust administration
• Collaborate with financial advisors, CPAs, and other professionals
• Build long-term relationships with clients as a trusted advisor
• Attend court for incompetency and guardianship proceedings
• Represent clients in will contests (caveats) and beneficiary advocacy

Who You Are

• Licensed attorney in North Carolina or South Carolina (or ability to become licensed quickly)
• Experience in estate planning, elder law, or related field preferred
• Strong interpersonal skills—comfortable guiding sensitive conversations
• Detail-oriented with sound legal judgment
• Able to balance empathy with efficiency
• Growth-minded: committed to learning and refining your craft

Why This Role is Different

This is not a volume-driven, transactional practice.

You will:

• Have meaningful client interactions
• Help families make some of the most important decisions of their lives
• Practice in a way that values relationships over transactions
• Be part of a team that prioritizes both professional excellence and human impact

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary + performance incentives
• Eligibility for other firm perks
• Professional development support
• Team-oriented, collaborative environment

How to Apply

If you are looking for a practice area where your work has lasting impact—and where how you practice matters as much as what you produce—we would welcome your application.
