An estate plan generally involves human heirs, such as children and grandchildren, but this is not always the case. Some individuals have non-human dependents to consider. Does that mean everyone should include their pet in an estate plan? Not necessarily, but it might be worth considering if there is even the slightest possibility that your companion may outlive you. It is important to understand when this kind of provision is legally feasible and how you can take the first step toward implementing it in your estate plan.
