 Estate Planning for Pets
We have all heard about people who leave fortunes to their pets. Often there are critical comments from those who think about how those millions could have been put to better use. Others regard their own pets as beloved members of their families, and they understand.
Even if you don’t have mega millions in your estate, you surely must think about how your pet will be cared for if you pass away or become disabled. Agreements from family members or friends are good, but life happens. It is possible that changes in their own circumstances may prevent them from honoring their commitment.
Even including your pet and instructions for their care in a will may not be sufficient. Depending upon a will to ensure your pet's well-being may not get the best outcome. There can be delays in probating the will, leaving a gap in the pet's care. Furthermore, a will cannot protect your pets if you are disabled.
Fortunately there are legal documents that are both flexible and enforceable for proper pet estate planning.
