It is never too early to get started planning for the future. Should you and your partner divorce, a plan for your estate is also something to consider. Call our estate planning attorneys in Harrisburg, Newport, or Carlisle to discuss your situation. We can be reached at (717) 775-7195.

What Is an Estate Plan?

A thorough estate plan will help your heirs carry out your wishes when you are no longer able to tell them what you want. It will also state your final requests for the disposition of your remains, provisions to account for minor children or dependents with special needs, and set the legal framework to help your family avoid costly estate taxes.

A complete and comprehensive estate plan may include all or most of the following documents, depending on your situation:

Wills
Living Wills
Health Care and Financial Powers of Attorney
Standby Guardianship Agreements
Revocable, Irrevocable, or Stand-Alone Trusts
Conservatorship Plans

With these documents drafted according to your wishes, you can rest assured that your future is protected.

I am so glad that God guided us to your firm and most especially Melanie and Judi. As soon as I got off the phone with Melanie, after my first consultation, I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I have contacted the firm several times and have always been greeted and helped in a very professional and pleasant manner. Everyone makes you feel at ease and that your case is important to them. I really am glad that they took my case and that they actually did what they said they would and in a timely manner. I wish I could hire a plane to fly over Harrisburg with a big banner that reads, "If you need an attorney who will work hard for you and do exactly what they say they are going to do to help you solve your case, and do it all in a timely fashion, call Scaringi & Scaringi. Past Client
Our family has used Melanie Scaringi and her law firm associates for several years in estate planning, elder care recommendations and in preparation of wills, living wills and powers of attorney. Scaringi Law handled all of the estate accounting and legal requirements when I served as executor for my deceased Mother-in-Law. In all of these endeavors they acted capably and professionally providing timely and expert counsel for the required actions. We met regularly in person and communicated by phone and email. In even the most complex issues they never once made me feel stupid! Particularly noteworthy is the firms experience in dealing directly with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and the Office of the Attorney General. The estate was handled successfully in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. I will continue to use the firm and recommend them to anyone. Best regards Past Client
For more than a decade, an out-of-state Executor struggled to resolve the issues surrounding her father's complicated Estate Administration in Pennsylvania. The Executor hired several attorneys over the years to sort out the issues and settle the estate. No attorney during that time was willing or able to bring the estate to its proper closure. But after a few months of working on the case, Melanie Walz Scaringi and her mother, Judith T. Walz, were able to clear up the problems surrounding the case. Their hard work sparked the following letter from the client, D.L.: I am so glad that God guided us to your firm and most especially Melanie and Judi. As soon as I got off the phone with Melanie, after my first consultation, I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I have contacted the firm several times and have always been greeted and helped in a very professional and pleasant manner. Everyone makes you feel at ease and that your case is important to them. I really am glad that they took my case and that they actually did what they said they would and in a timely manner. I wish I could hire a plane to fly over Harrisburg with a big banner that reads, "If you need an attorney who will work hard for you and do exactly what they say they are going to do to help you solve your case, and do it all in a timely fashion, call Scaringi Law." From a very happy client
Mrs. Scaringi is approachable and knowledgeable. Her personality instantly puts you at ease. I knew right away I was in good hands. I was right. Recently we have had to make changes to our list of guardians for our children. It is a stressful topic to discuss your death and who will raise your children upon your passing. Mrs. Scaringi empathizes and gives great advise so I felt confident in my decisions. I have been with the Scaringi & Scaringi Law Firm for many years now and have not been disappointed at any time. She has my highest recommendation. Past Client
