Did you know that pets are property? Have you considered what
will happen to your pets if something happens to you?
If you have furry family members (and I don't mean dear old

options so you can rest easier, knowing that your pets will be
cared for.
What happens if you die? If you have specific wishes about
who inherits your pets, it is important that you make those wishes
known, both to the people you have selected and to anyone else who
might think they have a stake in that decision. Of course you
should then back those wishes up by writing them into your
