WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR HORSE IF YOU SHOULD BECOME INCAPACITATED OR PASS AWAY?

From horses to hedgehogs, raptor to reptiles, I am passionate about assuring your pets are well cared for in case of your incapacity or should your pet out live you.

There comes a time in our lives when we must think of family who will survive us and for many of us, that includes our pets and our animals. Many of us are horse owners, and although horses are not known to be 'pets', they are beloved family members none the less. As responsible horse owners, we know they trust us to provide for their complete care. From shoes and proper feed to exercise, vet visits and even euthanasia, our horses are no different than our other family animals. Those of us who cherish our animals as members of the family will do what it takes to make sure they are loved and cared for their entire lives.
 
The care of a horse includes specific needs which must be addressed properly to assure uninterrupted and continued good health and happiness. I recommend working with an estate planning attorney who is familiar with the animal's needs, especially those circumstances that come with horse ownership. I am honored to be one of those attorneys. Through my wide experience in this area, I am able to offer guidance and suggestions for the unique situations that come with being the guardian of all types of animals. I am honored to assist people in assuring the needs of their horse(s), and all other animals that depend on their care, are properly provided for in a comprehensive estate plan (Revocable Trust, Will, Durable Power of Attorney).
 
Providing for your pets doesn’t necessarily require a separate Pet Trust, but you do have to state your wishes specifically. If you wish to learn more about ensuring lifetime care of all your pets, including your precious horse(s), please contact my office. I look forward to serving you and your pets.
