[WSBAPT] Will provisions for pets

[Sandra Perkins]

You might suggest that your client consider the Seattle Humane Society's Pet
Guardian program.  They will pick the pet(s) up after death and find great
new homes for them.

It is not expensive, and the Seattle Humane Society will always be there and
able and willing to help.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Will provisions for pets

 

Good morning all,

A client would like to have some provision in her will so that any pet she
might own when she dies is taken care of and not just shipped off to the
pound or euthanized.  She is considering leaving a small amount of money to
whomever agrees to take the pet and is fine with leaving the details - the
amount of money and the person to whom the pet will go - up to the personal
representative.  I was just going to add a paragraph authorizing the
personal representative to select a suitable person to receive  the pet and
to determine an appropriate one-time payment.  There is not enough money to
warrant a pet trust nor does the client want to be so formal.

Does anyone have flexible language that they recommend for use in wills for
this scenario?  

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Jennifer
