Julia D. Catron

Julia D. Catron is an attorney with Catron, Catron & Glassman, P.A. in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she focuses on estate planning, trust and estate administration, and fiduciary work. Her practice includes wills, trusts, probate and estate administration, and fiduciary administration. Catron returned to the firm in 2019 after working in the trust industry, experience that complements her legal practice with a practical understanding of fiduciary responsibilities and trust administration.

Catron earned her bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude, from Boston University, majoring in International Relations with a focus on cultural anthropology and Latin American regional politics and a minor in Spanish. She received her J.D., cum laude, from the University of New Mexico School of Law and was admitted to the New Mexico bar in 2010. Her academic training supports careful legal research, written analysis, and communication with clients whose estate planning needs may involve family, property, fiduciary, and long-term administrative considerations.

Before returning to private practice, Catron spent three years as a trust officer and Santa Fe branch manager for a New Mexico trust company. That role provided direct experience with trust administration and fiduciary decision making. In her legal practice, she helps clients create estate plans and assists fiduciaries and beneficiaries with the administration of trusts and estates. Her background on both the legal and institutional sides of trust work helps her anticipate documentation, administration, and communication issues that can affect the orderly transfer and management of assets.

Julia D. Catron also serves in community leadership roles, including board service with the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and the International Folk Art Foundation. Her practice combines estate planning counsel with hands-on trust and fiduciary experience, allowing her to help clients plan for future needs and guide estates or trusts through administration. She brings a practical understanding of how planning documents operate after incapacity or death and how fiduciaries can carry out responsibilities with care and organization.
