A: Absolutely! Your estate plan can include provisions for your pets, such as who should care for them and how their expenses should be covered. You can designate funds for the person who will be caring for your pets or even include a pet trust in your plan to provide a more formal structure for their ongoing care. Pets are important members of the family and including them in your estate plan can provide peace of mind knowing that you have a plan in place for their care!
