🐾 Don’t Forget Your Furry Family Members! 🐾

As a nation of animal lovers, it’s crucial to consider our beloved pets when planning our estates.

While pets aren’t legally considered sentient beings, they are regarded as property.

Therefore, it’s essential to include them in your will to ensure they receive the love and care they deserve when you’re no longer around.

🔍 Why Include Pets in Your Estate Plan?

Including your pets in your estate plan provides clear instructions to those you leave behind.

This ensures your furry friends continue to enjoy their lives with someone who loves them just as much as you do.

You can appoint a main caregiver and even have reserves, just like in a will.

We often recommend considering the RSPCA as a final carer option, ensuring your pets are always in good hands.

➡️ How to Include Pets in Your Will?

1. Appoint a Caregiver:
   Choose someone you trust to take care of your pets.
   Discuss with them beforehand to ensure they’re willing and able to take on this responsibility.

2. Consider Reserves:
   Just like any good plan, having a backup is wise.
   Appoint reserve caregivers in case the primary one can’t fulfil the role.

3. RSPCA as a Safety Net:
   As a final option, consider naming the RSPCA as a carer, ensuring your pets are always looked after.

🎉 Conclusion: A Little Planning Goes a Long Way!

By including your pets in your estate plan, you provide peace of mind, knowing your furry family members will continue to receive love and care.

So, take a moment to think about these lovely companions and make sure they’re part of your estate planning process. 🐶🐱
