re: Should you create a will for your pets?

An older gentleman that my dad knew long ago, Mr. McCann passed away when I was a kid. He had a rolly polly fat chocolate lab name Charlie. In Mr McCann's will, he specified that Charlie had to be put down before his will could be executed. Why you ask? Because Mr McCann knew Charlie would go looking for him and probably get killed on the road. Sadly, before the order could be given, that's exactly what happened.

I totally agree with a clause in the will for pet care.

Of course it makes sense. You make arrangements for everything else. If your pets have meaning to you, why wouldn't you want to ensure they are cared for when you're gone?

It's because the thread title is poorly worded. Making a will FOR your pets is different than putting your pets IN your own will.

Making a will for your pet would be:

In the event of Spotty's death, his green toy will go to the black dog down the street, his tennis ball will go to the cat, etc..

ftr if any of you leave me a fricking pet in your will I'm taking that shite to a kill shelter.

I'll cut it's head off and sell it to a blind kid.
