What about the furry members of your family?

You love your pets and consider them part of your family, right? Let’s make sure they’re taken care of in the event that you no longer can.

Pet trusts are growing in popularity, which makes perfect sense. Those of us with animals know the unconditional love involved in our relationships with them, and as with the humans we love, we also want to make preparations for the care and well-being of our pets in the event of our death or incapacity. What would happen to your beloved pets if you were no longer here, or you were no longer able to care for them? Are you certain that the person of your choosing would step in and provide for their needs? If so, would that person have the financial means to care for your beloved pet? What a heartbreaking thought to consider that someone with pets passes without making plans for their care - will the animal(s) just be taken to a shelter and potentially euthanized?  Not if you have estate plans in place that include a Pet Trust, which spells out your precise wishes and provides the means to accomplish them.

You’ve always taken care of the furry members of your family, so guarantee that they’ll continue to be cared for even if something happens to you. Estate planning offers a variety of options to make sure all your loved ones - human or otherwise - are taken care of in the way you wish.
