Why It Matters
Protect your family, avoid probate, and secure your legacy.
At Costaras Law, we make estate planning simple. Your team creates clear wills and trusts that protect assets, reduce taxes, and keep family out of probate court. With tailored planning, you gain peace of mind knowing wishes will be honored.
If you do nothing, you still have an estate plan. It's the government's. That plan may be fine for 18th-century families. It rarely matches today's blended families, second marriages, stepchildren, businesses, retirement accounts, and cherished heirlooms.
At Costaras Law, we love estate planning because it replaces uncertainty, court delays, and fees with clarity, privacy, and control.
What's in a Comprehensive Estate Plan?
Documents designed for your needs.
Last Will & Testament
Directs how your assets pass after death, names guardians for minor children, and appoints the executor you trust.
Revocable Living Trust
Avoids probate, keeps your wishes private, and lets you stay in control of your assets while you're alive.
Power of Attorney
Designates who can act on your behalf (financial and healthcare) if you can't speak for yourself.
Guardianship & More
Healthcare directives, HIPAA releases, and beneficiary alignment across retirement and insurance accounts.

Will vs. Trust
What's the difference?
When a Simple Will May Be Enough
Very simple family dynamic · No real estate · One heir or your entire estate goes to charity · Modest accounts where beneficiary designations already cover them.
When a Trust Is the Smarter Move
You own a home or multiple properties · Minor children or grandchildren · Blended family or children from a prior marriage · Business, retirement, or significant brokerage accounts · You want privacy and to avoid probate.
Real-World Protections
Practical ways trusts reduce risk and uncertainty.
- Provide for minors without handing a 13-year-old a house and lump sum
- Protect a special needs child without jeopardizing benefits
- Stagger distributions over time or upon milestones
- Direct gifts to charities, nieces, and nephews
- Assign heirlooms like grandma's ring or grandpa's WWII keepsake
- Keep your family's information out of public record
Frequently Asked
Clear answers, real solutions.
No. Anyone with a home, retirement account, minor children, or specific wishes for their family benefits from a plan. The cost of doing nothing (probate fees, public court records, family conflict) almost always exceeds the cost of planning.
A typical plan includes a will, a revocable living trust (when appropriate), financial and healthcare powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and beneficiary alignment across retirement and insurance accounts. We tailor every package to your situation.
Flat fees, quoted before any work begins. The price covers the whole scope: drafting, review meetings, signing, and notarization. No hourly surprises.
No. Everything is handled in our office or by video. Court is what we help your family avoid through a properly funded trust.
Review every 3–5 years and after any major life event: marriage, divorce, birth, death, new property, or moving states. We offer flat-fee annual reviews for clients we've drafted plans for.
