More Good Reasons to Have a Pet Trust
San Diego Estate Planning Lawyer, Roy M. Doppelt's has a good post on Seven Reasons to Have a Pet Trust.
The first two reasons are here:
"1. You have pets with a long life expectancy. Some pets are almost sure to outlive you. Birds and reptiles have exceptionally long lives. Some turtles can live almost 100 years. A macaw for example can live to be 80. Horses have a life expectancy of twenty to thirty years.
2. You live alone. If you live alone with your pet, you need to consider who would step in and care for your pet if something happened unexpectantly to you."
Go to his website to read the rest of his reasoning.
If one of his ideas will move you to act on these issues, you and your pets will be much better off for your actions.
