FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ESTATE PLANNING

Most of the clients we have the good fortune to work with know what estate planning is. Essentially, it involves putting your affairs in order to maximize the benefits your assets can provide to you during your lifetime and to others after you are gone. As we like to say, it is all about protecting everyone you love and everything you own.



But that does not mean our clients are crystal clear on all the finer details of crafting a plan that works for them. As estate planning attorneys, we field plenty of questions throughout the planning process.

Estate Planning

Creating a Letter of Intent for Your Pets

Many pet owners find it difficult to describe how much love and affection exists between them and their fur babies. It is almost too much to put into words, but the bottom line is that they love them. Furthermore, they are more than just pets - they are family. It really is that simple. For that reason alone, your friends here at Leigh Hilton PLLC have written several articles over the years with advice on how to provide for both your family and pets in your estate planning strategy. 

Without rehashing all of that information we would like to talk about an additional item of interest many of our clients are utilizing. It is called a Letter of Intent. While this documents is not legally enforceable - as, say, adding your pet to your will or trust - it is an invaluable tool to help those you have entrusted with your pet's care after you are gone.
