Meet Walt Zaremba

Walt Zaremba began his legal career in 1993 as a General Practice Attorney concentrating on estate planning, contract law, business organization, and domestic relations.

Walt’s legal practice has evolved into a firm that dedicates itself to estate planning and elder law. The firm’s mission is to ensure that clients are provided with an estate plan that “works.” In other words, Zaremba Center is committed to creating an estate plan tailored to the individual client to enable you, not the court system or governmental bureaucracies, to stay in control of your health and wealth, regardless of your current and future circumstances.

In 1995, Walt was elected to serve his community as a member of the York County Board of Supervisors, serving the citizens of the first district. He is now in his fifth four-year term.

Professional And Experienced Estate Planning Attorney

Estate planning is a complex and highly personal process that requires professional guidance. At the Zaremba Center, we have the experience and expertise to help you create an estate plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
We are committed to providing our clients with personalized and comprehensive estate planning services. We take the time to understand each client's unique situation and goals, and then work closely with them to develop an estate plan that meets their needs and provides peace of mind.

You've Come To The Right Place

To create an effective estate plan, it is essential to make a comprehensive list of all your assets. This includes properties, investments, bank accounts, retirement accounts, business interests, and valuable personal belongings. Taking inventory of your assets will help you understand the wealth you have accumulated and enable you to make informed decisions about how you want them handled.

Furthermore, it is equally vital to clearly identify and name the beneficiaries for each asset. A beneficiary can be a family member, friend, or charitable organization that you wish to benefit from your assets. By nominating beneficiaries for your assets, you ensure that the distribution of your estate aligns with your wishes while minimizing potential conflicts among your loved ones.
