How to Plan for your Pet after your Death...

We always think of our family and friends, but rarely do we consider our furry family members. It is true that the life span of our pets is usually shorter than our own, but you never know. Look at the Queen’s corgis whose fate after her death was source of news articles all over the world and many were concerned what would happen to her beloved companions.

This is why all pet owners should consider how to plan for their pet’s safety and comfort should the worst happen, and we leave them first. The planning for our pets future can be as simple as adding a clause to our will naming a protector who will take care of them when we are no longer able to do so. There are of course more involved estate planning clauses that can be as complex as setting up a trust to make sure there are funds to take care of our furry companions for the span of their lifetime.

We are here to help you with all your Estate Planning needs be it for your two- or four-legged family or combination of both!
