Estate Planning for Pet Owners

The Law Firm of Pozzuolo Rodden, P.C., Philadelphia Estate Planning Attorneys, announces the release of the article “Estate Planning for Pet Owners”.

One of the most important considerations in making an estate plan is to provide for the welfare and security of your loved ones after your death. This is especially true when providing for young children and those individuals with special needs who, absent representation, do not have the independent capacity to provide for themselves or assert their rights in court.

One important family member who also shares these traits but is often overlooked the family pet. The family dog or cat provides you with endless attention, love, and affection, but also depends on you for survival. However, unlike children, the family pet cannot assert his rights through a court appointed guardian or speak for himself if no one else will. Thus it is important to set up a plan to ensure he is not cast aside upon your death or disability. This newsletter provides a general overview of the options available so that this important member of your family does not get left behind.
