US Private Client Legal Services

The US Lawyer establishes a legal service covering wills, trusts, probate, estate administration, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, estate tax, gift tax, inheritance planning, and succession matters. The role also addresses state-specific legal requirements and the regulatory structure needed for a US service.

The lawyer develops core documents, workflows, and legal processes for a new offering under the iWill brand. Islamic legacy planning is part of the work, including legal input for iWaqf, charitable legacy planning, charitable trusts, planned giving, and waqf-inspired structures.

Establish the US private client legal framework

• Advise on licensing, regulatory matters, and state-specific requirements.
• Develop wills, trusts, probate, estate administration, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives.
• Draft legal documents and operating workflows.
• Advise on estate tax, gift tax, trust administration, and inheritance planning.
• Identify legal and operational risks.

Private Client Experience And Licensing

The role requires strong experience in wills, estate planning, probate, estate administration, trusts, and private client advisory work. A Juris Doctor degree and an active licence to practise law in at least one US state are required.

The lawyer also needs strong legal drafting, communication, project management, commercial judgment, collaboration, and execution skills. Membership in relevant trusts and estates professional bodies, Bar sections, or estate planning councils is identified as an additional qualification.

Building A New Legal Service Line

The US Lawyer helps build the operating model for a new legal service line rather than joining an established US practice group. Legal development includes document design, service structure, compliance planning, and state-level requirements.

The lawyer collaborates with product, compliance, operations, marketing, technology, customer experience, leadership, and external advisers. Training and education work also forms part of the role, alongside legal input for the service's launch and ongoing operation.

iWill And Islamic Legacy Planning

I Will Solicitors Ltd is a subsidiary of Wahed and is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom. Its private client work includes wills, inheritance tax planning, probate, trusts, Court of Protection matters, and related services.

The iWill program focuses on faith-aligned legacy planning for Muslim communities. The US role adapts that service work to US legal structures, including state licensing, federal and state tax questions, estate administration, and succession planning.
