Pet Planning
Services/ Pet Planning
Because pets are Family too, your pets depend on you completely. Without proper planning, they may end up in shelters or with people unable to properly
care for them. Pet planning ensures your beloved companions receive the care they deserve. Pet planning differs from human planning because Pets are
legally considered property, not dependents. This means you cannot leave money directly to a pet. For that reason standard estate plans may not
adequately protect your Pet. This means special legal structures are needed for your Pets care. A noble Estate Planning Pet Care Plan ensures your Pes
best protection after you’re no longer able to care for your Pet.
