Review Frequently Asked Questions Before Meeting Our Cleveland Attorneys

Beyond the Basics: Estate Planning with Purpose +
Estate planning at Costaras Law goes beyond documents. We focus on protecting wealth, preventing disputes, and preserving family harmony. Our goal is to align your estate with your values so that your legacy lasts across generations.
The Power of Choice: Wills vs. Living Trusts +
A Will directs the probate court how to distribute your assets, while a Living Trust avoids probate and gives your family immediate access to your estate. Costaras Law helps you choose the right structure based on your family and financial goals.
Your Life, Your Terms, Your Control +
Our trusts are designed so that you remain in control during your lifetime. You decide how assets are managed, who steps in if you are incapacitated, and how your family will inherit—on your terms, not the court’s.
Protection When You Need It Most +
