This kit answers that question as well as others, such as:
• How can you ensure care for the non-human members of your family if you become incapacitated or pass away? Can you leave your pet in your will, or leave money for it in a trust?
• What if you go through a separation or divorce; who gets the dog?
• How can you make sure your pets are taken care of, no matter what happens?
Pet care is now about so much more than just walking, feeding, and visiting vets. Relationship and estate planning with pets in mind is a growing area as more people think about what to do for their dogs, cats, and other animals after they’re gone. This information will help you prevent issues and move forward knowing you’ve done all you can for your pet.
Includes sample pet care clauses for wills, separation agreements, cohabitation or prenuptial agreements, and powers of attorney.
