Legal IQ: “Pets and Estates”

6_LEGALIQ_Pets&Estates.png

Did you know you can include your pet in your Estate plan?

Animals are beloved members of many families. It’s important that your animals end up in the care of someone who will treat your pet the way you would.  In your Estate Plan you can lay out who your pet would go to if you were to pass away and you can also assign money to be left for your pet’s care.  

You can also setup ways for your pet to be cared for if you are permanently or temporarily incapacitated.

There are a few ways to go about doing this, but rest assured it can be done.  

I’m here to help if you need me.  I especially enjoy working on Estate Plans that include animals as I’m an animal lover myself.
