John Costanzo Attorney At Law

A Professional Approach to Estate Planning

My name is John Costello, and I'm a dedicated attorney with a deep understanding of estate planning and probate law. I help individuals and families in Massachusetts and New Hampshire create comprehensive and tailored estate plans that meet their unique needs and goals.

I believe that estate planning shouldn't be shrouded in mystery or overwhelming legalese. My goal is to make the process accessible and understandable, ensuring that my clients feel empowered and in control of their future. I take the time to explain complex legal concepts in clear, easy-to-understand language, so you can make informed decisions about your estate.

Wills & Trusts

• Drafting comprehensive wills that clearly articulate your wishes for your assets and beneficiaries.
• Establishing different types of trusts (revocable living trust, durable power of attorney, etc.) to manage assets and protect beneficiaries.

Asset Protection

• Implementing strategies to preserve your assets from estate taxes, nursing home expenses, and other unforeseen circumstances.
• Reviewing and updating your estate plan regularly to ensure it continues to meet your evolving needs.

Probate & Estate Administration

• Guiding you through the probate process and ensuring a smooth and efficient transfer of your assets.
• Serving as your representative if needed to manage your estate during probate.

Experience & Qualifications

My background in psychology and gerontology informs my approach to estate planning, allowing me to understand the unique concerns of older adults and families. I am admitted to practice law in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire and hold memberships in the American Bar Association and the Massachusetts Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys Association.
