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.<br><br>Does anyone have flexible language that they recommend for use in wills for this scenario? <br><br>Thanks in advance for any assistance,<br><br>Jennifer<br><br></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Big Caslon","serif"'>Jennifer M.
