What is a Last Will & Testament?
Protecting Your Family and Your Legacy.
A Last Will & Testament is a legal document that clearly directs how your assets, property, and personal belongings are distributed after your passing. With Costaras Law, your will is drafted in plain English and aligned to Ohio law-so your wishes are honored and your family has clarity.
- Appoint guardians for minor children
- Select an executor to manage your estate
- Ensure your final wishes are honored
Without a will, Ohio intestacy laws-not you-decide who inherits your property, who cares for your children, and who manages your estate. Avoid confusion and conflict with a tailored plan from Costaras Law.
