August is National Make-A-Will Month, a time to reflect on how planning for the future can make a real difference for the people—and pets—you love. For pet owners, one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of estate planning is making sure your animals are cared for if something happens to you.
Did you know that nearly 10% of animals in the U.S. are surrendered to shelters after their owners pass away without a will or care plan in place? Without clear instructions, your beloved pets could face uncertainty, and in some cases, homelessness.
Attorney Amanda Pierson, a UT graduate and expert in Probate and Estate Planning, will be sharing her insights in a free webinar hosted by the Houston Humane Society on August 21st at noon. In this informative session, Amanda will discuss:
-
Why including your pets in your will is essential for their security and well-being.
-
How an estate plan can give you peace of mind knowing your pets will be safe, supported, and loved.
-
Ways to make a lasting impact by including charitable gifts in your estate plans that benefit organizations like the Houston Humane Society.
Amanda’s presentation will provide practical tips for creating a pet care plan that ensures your furry companions never face uncertainty, no matter what the future holds.
By taking a few steps today, you can make sure your pets are protected, your wishes are honored, and your love for animals leaves a lasting legacy.
