Estate Planning for Pets in Cincinnati, Ohio

Home Services Estate Planning for Pets in Cincinnati, Ohio

There is a lot to remember when you are planning your estate. It can be easy to overlook your four-legged heirs.  You can certainly include your pets in your estate plan.

Thousands upon thousands of pets are left homeless each year after their owners pass away. If you plan your estate effectively, you can be certain that your pet will be cared for throughout their life even if you predecease the animal.

Pet Trusts

When it comes to Planning for Pets in Cincinnati, it is possible to create a trust for their benefit. There are a number of different advantages that you gain when you create a pet trust.

The trustee that you name in the trust agreement is bound by law. He or she must use the assets that have been conveyed into the trust to provide for the pet in the manner that you set forth in the agreement.

You can leave behind very specific instructions regarding diet, treats, exercise, veterinarian visits, living arrangements, euthanasia, etc.

It can be difficult to know exactly how much money it will take to provide for your pets throughout their lives. However, an essential part of Planning for Pets in Cincinnati involves your estate planning attorney, who can suggest formulas to help determine the amount of monies to be set aside for the care of a pet. With a pet trust, you will need to name someone to inherit what is left of the pet trust when the pet passes.  This can include family members or favorite animal charities, such as No Kill Animal Shelters.

What Our Clients Say

Some years ago, Barry Zimmer suggested we do a basic estate plan for our son when he went to college. We had no idea how important it would be! In our son's freshman year, he ended up in the hospital, and we were able to get crucial information about his condition because we had a health care ...
