• Deed preparation and asset funding: Preparing and recording real property deeds to ensure real estate assets are properly transferred into family trusts.

Incapacity Protection and Advance Healthcare Directives

Comprehensive estate planning extends well beyond asset distribution upon death; it establishes vital protections during unanticipated illness or medical incapacitation. The firm prepares durable power of attorney documents that authorize designated fiduciaries to manage banking, pay bills, and supervise real estate transactions without the expense of court-supervised conservatorships. Additionally, Attorney Catalano formulates advance directives and healthcare instructions that clearly convey personal medical treatment preferences, ensuring family members and medical professionals honor your wishes during critical moments.
