Or if we lose the ability to make the decisions necessary for their welfare? Unless you make specific provision for your beloved pets to address these situations, their fate could be a grim one. When you die for example, the executor of your estate will have no option but to hand pets over to your heirs as \u201cproperty\u201d. And if your heirs are unable or unwilling to give them a good home and have no guidance from you as to what your wishes are, your beloved pets could end up needlessly euthanised or in a shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a few ways you can avoid that &#8211;<\/p>\n<h6>A \u201cLiving Will for Pets\u201d<\/h6>\n<p>In the \u201cwhen you are gone\u201d section below we will discuss options that only apply after your death, but in contrast a \u201cLiving Will\u201d applies when you are still alive but no longer able to make your own decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, your own personal \u201cLiving Will\u201d or \u201cAdvance Medical Care Directive\u201d sets out what medical treatment you consent to receiving when you are no longer able to speak for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, you may want to do something like that for your pets, setting out what is to happen to them when you are no longer able to make such decisions yourself. You could leave specific care instructions (including perhaps veterinary care instructions and authority for euthanasia in specific circumstances) or you could appoint a trusted heir or animal welfare organisation to make those decisions for you. Note that you cannot leave money or assets to anyone in a living will \u2013 bequests can only be made in your actual will.<\/p>\n<h6>Three alternatives for when you are gone<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A clause in your will:\u00a0<\/strong>As \u201cproperty\u201d, your pets cannot inherit from you, but you could provide in your will (\u201cLast Will and Testament\u201d) for a named heir to inherit them, ideally with a bequest to help them cover the costs of pet ownership. Make sure your chosen heir is on board with your plan!<\/li>\n<li><strong>A directive &#8211; in your \u201cimportant information\u201d file, or in a separate letter of wishes:\u00a0<\/strong>In addition to your will, you should always leave your executor and heirs a comprehensive file of important information and documents to assist them in winding up your estate. It should include a \u201cMy directives\u201d section with instructions as to what is to happen to your pets. Alternatively, you could set that all out in a separate \u201cletter of wishes\u201d. These directions aren\u2019t legally binding on anyone, but they do provide guidance to those winding up your affairs as to your wishes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A testamentary trust:\u00a0<\/strong>This will be overkill for most situations, but if you want to leave a lot of money to care for your pet\/s, you might be advised to set up a testamentary (i.e. set up in your will) trust. You would appoint trustees to manage a bequest to the trust, with guidance on how the money is to be spent for your pets\u2019 benefit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>\u00a0The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
