It is amazing how a pet becomes part of the family. Whether your family includes a single dog or cat, or a veritable zoo of furry companions, you will want to ensure that your estate plan provides for their care if something were to happen to you. Sadly, fewer than 20% of pet owners actually plan for their animals in this way.
California allows you to establish a special trust, a “Pet Trust,” to outline and provide for the care of your pet if you pass away. If a Pet Trust does not make sense for your family, please be assured that we can take steps in drafting your personal estate plan to protect the welfare of your animal companions.
