Pet Planning
Have you heard of pet planning? What happens if your beloved pet outlives you or you become incapacitated? Would your pet go to the pound, or worse yet – be euthanized? You can control what happens to your pet and who cares for your pet when you cannot. You should consider a Pet Trust and Durable Power of Attorney for your pet’s care. Then the following matters can be addressed such as:
- Set aside part of your Estate for your pet’s care
- Keep multiple pets together and not separate them
- Choose who cares for your pet
- Select who oversees the money for your pet’s care
- Elect a person to make sure your instructions are followed
- Provide direction for your pet’s care and end of life care/treatment
- Designate Burial/Cremation instructions
We also offer seminars on Elder Law and Estate Planning. Check our events page for upcoming seminars that are usually held in the Top of Troy Building.
