Planning for Your Pets
For many families, pets are more than property—they are beloved companions and an important part of the family. Unfortunately, many estate plans fail to address what will happen to an animal if its owner becomes incapacitated or passes away.
As one of the nation’s few law firms with a dedicated animal law practice, Holland & Muirden helps clients create estate plans that provide for the continued care of their animals. We can help you designate trusted caregivers, provide financial resources for your animals’ care, and incorporate pet trusts or other planning tools when appropriate.
Whether you share your life with one companion animal or care for multiple animals through a farm, ranch, or rescue, thoughtful planning can help ensure they continue to receive the care you intend.
