Make sure the animals in your life are loved and cared for after you’re gone.
Something that concerns many animal lovers is what will happen to their beloved cats and dogs after they pass away. No one knows your pets quite like you do, which is why it is a good idea to let your family and friends know what you would like to happen to the animals in your life should something ever happen to you.
Including clear instructions in your Will for who will care for your pets provides you with the peace of mind that they will be well looked after when you are gone and no longer able to care for them. Expressing your wishes and documenting a clear, helpful plan for how your pets should be cared for can also be helpful for your family, friends and the executor of your estate.
We strongly recommend talking to your solicitor to ensure you include clear instructions and arrangements for the future care of your beloved animals in your Will.
