To a lot of people the idea of a person leaving money in their will to a pet instead of a charity or, you know, their own family or friends, seems something only an eccentric wealthy person would do. In reality, a pet trust is not only a surprisingly common arrangement, but one most legal experts recommend for any pet owner who cares for their animal. But how do you go about accomplishing this and how do you make sure your wishes are followed?

What in the actual fork is the white thing on your left forearm?
My ex boyfriends grandma left me her cat and she lived to be way older than anticipated. The money for her has long since run out but I will still care for my sweet cat as long as she will live
That's why grandma chose you.
You're an awesome person, hats off to you, madam.
@@Aeturnalis actually unfortunately my cat has since died at age 21 but I loved her a lot and have since given 4 stray cats a forever home
Adopt a turtle that will grow to be at least 200 years old as a baby turtle. Leave all your wealth to it in your to it. Troll your family because you hate them or just want to see them suffer from beyond the grave. Brilliant.
i can imagine them trying to kill your turtle
+dojokonojo, +Shaz _, soup anyone??
x-P
Shaz _ What a wonderful idea for a slapstick short.
I’d imagine if you add a clause that the turtle must die of natural causes, or live it’s entire life span for the family to actually get the money, heck you could even make it that the pet needs to meet certain standards of care, have someone to examine it etc for the family to be eligible for said money. Should they mess up in any way all funds should go to a charity or something similar. It really would be ingenious, provided that you account for all possibilities.
@@puneetmangat6131 Charity can be option #2. A lot of people put Charity in 1st spot for inheritences anyway, the paperwork is probably already standard by now 😊
When my friend and her husband updated their wills a few years ago, she asked me if I'd be okay with them leaving their pets (and some funds for their care) to me. I've been pet-sitting for them for nearly 20 years, and my friend said I'm the only person they trust to take care of their pets as well as they would. Of course I agreed. Honestly, I'd do it even without any financial assistance/incentive.
Sarah D. It also wouldn't hurt to have some money given to you, just in case you fall on hard times, so you and the pets can be taken care of.
poor you the pets just won't die.
Quiptipt With financial incentive nitwad... But thats not the point of her story. Luckily they have a good friend in Sara, those billionaires "did" not have that like you.
I recall a story where someone died and left everything to their dogs, with the butler acting as the caretaker, and the butler was to get everything after the dogs died
People were constantly asking him if he wanted them to kill the dogs for him, his response was always no, because he already lived in the mansion and had access to the car, and still got his paycheck in the interim, he also managed the money, so in practice he already had everything and just got some dogs in the process
So basically what Edgar should've done in The Aristocats
@@chasedavidson2855 ya if he wasn't a money hungry asshole
Think about it. They wouldn't fire you, nor give you grief over whether or not his walkies are long enough. They are affectionate and you'd be secure for as along as they live. If you inherit after them you'd be set for life. Sign me up.
@@djokealtena2538 dog only have like 10-15 years to live and a dog that will inherit money from its dead owner probably live for quite a certain amount of time to develop that bond and love to warrant such a reward so it could honestly only be at most 5 years left before you get everything anyway so might as well just treat the dog well
Get rich, get a pet jellyfish, make the most pedantically aggravating schedule for taking care of it, set a trust for it giving it all your money. From beyond the grave troll the hell outta someone.
Invidious it has to be that one particular jellyfish that never dies, just reverts back to its first form and starts the cycle anew
Invidious that's basically the reason I'd leave my money to a pet
+Austin Brancheau, "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM"
A Google User an IMMORTAL jellyfish tho?
Invidious There are better ways to troll the world after your death, like asking for an eccentric grave. I want my grave to be a giant bronze statue of myself pointing down at the rest of the cemetary and laughing... Using the wind and some pipes, it may even be possible to really produce a laughing sound. That or a statue flipping the bird.
someone in my town left his his house to jesus... a few decades later i think the bank or the town just decided to sell it again.
James Franklin wow xD
James Franklin lol
Maybe the buyer was the person Jesus thought best for it.
Poor Jesus, everyone assumed the guy was talking about the biblical figure when he was actually talking about the friendly neighborhood paletas man.
Andrew Del Pilar You tell 'em, bud.
That stock photo @7:26 is worth every cent you guys paid for it.
:-)
Today I Found Out hey it's me Alissa you should know my I'm the grandaunter if Candace Henderson or cj Henderson you are my uncle lol hi
Huh huh, *stock* photo. Ha!
the whole point of stock photos is they're free
Never heard of "Communsim" before, what's it all about?
I volunteered at an animal shelter a few years ago. A lady who was very ill and about to die left her two Weimeraners at the shelter and wrote the shelter into her will. They had to be adopted as a pair and the new owner could bring them to the shelter for vet services for free.
Weimaraners. Also commonly known as Weemerheimers.
lol when a pet is richer than you. *cries in a corner*
The dog got death threats? Can you imagine being there hitman they hire and finding out the target is a dog.
My aunt had taken care of the surviving dogs of an elderly woman for about 10 years. The woman only had one surviving family member, a son, who had repeatedly broken into his mother's home and robbed her.
A trust had been set up to cover care of the dogs and the house. My aunt paid a measly $200 rent on the house while the dogs were alive with preference to buy the house when the dogs died.
Watch me leave all my possessions to my guinea pigs.
yuuiuu11 LOL
That was very informative. A lot of people do not take steps to ensure their pets are taken care of, so tons of beautiful animals are abandoned into shelters, not adopted and then put down.
Please:
Adopt before buying.
Have a guardian for your pet.
If you really love fluffy, then make sure your protection extends beyond your own limitations.
So, could you leave the money to a generation of pets? Say they have children after your death and your original pet dies, can can you have the money run down the line until your money runs out?
Yes, obviously. The fuck are you asking?
Because it wasn't clear in the video, obviously. Why the fuck are you asking?
I'd say the video made it pretty clear that you can be as specific and pedantic as you want with your will.
It made it clear that you can make a will to give money to your pet specifically, it made no claim that you can take the money from your pet and give it to the unborn children of your pet, basically writing into your will the will of your pet.
Mr. Chang not if you're sane. There are starving CHILDREN in the world.
This is sounds so complicated and expensive.
If one does not have a trustworthy friend or family member to leave the pet to (hopefully someone not even needing to be reimbursed), perhaps leaving a good sum to a no-kill shelter with the specification that your pet be given special attention in finding a suitable home would be much more reliable.
Just a thought.
Yeah. I mean, from a purely intellectual standpoint, I can see the fascination in trying to prepare for all possible scenarios, but as an actual human being, I would think finding someone - if not an individual, then an organization - you can actually trust to look after the pet would be the best thing to do. As opposed to maniacally trying to control everything from beyond the grave, with your money.
I have a beloved bird from the Amazon Rain Forest that I've had for 32yrs. I have often thought of my plan for him but haven't done so although I know I should. Leave money for his rest of life care and of course also money for the care-taker. Then I assumed he would be taken care of. But of course I know he will as I chose my eldest to care for him. They get along greatly. If he croaks before me I always wanted to have him stuffed by the Taxidermis in his stance with his wings spread showing all his colors along with his talons grabbing the branch and his tail spread in colors and his eyes in bright orange color which is how he turns them when he does grab the branch with the talons, spread his wings, flap and stretch with his beautiful tail spread. He is a rescue from the mid-80's when smuggling was prevelant amongst exotic animals and many many birds perished because so many were stuffed into a small space. His wings were chopped beyond what we call 'the quick' of our nails and bloody.He screamed if you got within 5ft of him. Over time he has learned to trust me and others. I never could just abandon him when I pass. He's a medium size parrot for cripes sake and has come along way from surviving being smuggled into this country battered and abused to living a good loving and caring life. On that note I would advize to anyone considering getting a pet exotic or dometic: If YOU cannot commit the next 25yrs of or more of ur life to that animal (I've seen both dogs and cats live to 27yrs) then please do not get it! You got that animal and it depends on you. Just because your life may not be going right, for cripes sake don't abandon them.
Joke or true? I can't tell... help me .___.
Wow thats long
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story
Reality:
If you don't KNOW someone who will POSITIVELY care for the bird... don;t leave your money for the bird's care. Give it to an animal rescue. (NOT SPCA OR PETA!... PETA shelters have the highest kill rate as % of pets "rescued" of all shelters in the USA, SPCA is #2)
An appointed guardian for the bird will rape the money allotted for the bird's care, then claim the bird is sick and have it put down (or just wring its neck and claim it flew into a window)
1 For The People just let him go and take care of humans wtf
This was the cause of the entire plot line for The Aristocats

You stink.
Minnesota now recognizes pet trusts.
I was a neonatal foster carer for the RSPCA Queensland (in Australia) for a while (which means that we raised orphaned kittens from birth to adoptable age) and I know that the RSPCA had a system whereby if people were concerned about who would take care of their pets after their death, they could ask the RSPCA to take custody of them. There was a fee involved (sorry, I don't know how much exactly), and the RSPCA would either place the animals in permanent foster (Retaining ownership so they could ensure proper care) or re-home them, depending on the wishes of the owner.
I know there were two very elderly cats whose owner had passed away who were left in the care of the RSPCA, with the stipulation that they were to be kept together. These cats were about 18 and 20 years of age, and when they came into the RSPCA's care, the foster-care office hung on to them for a week or two to assess their health (under the watch of the vets there), but it was decided that the cats needed monitoring by the vets so they became the 'mascots' of the foster-care office and live there. The carpenter at the RSPCA made them ramps so they could climb up onto the desks without jumping, and made them a scratching post and bed system up against the large windows in the quite roomy office. Last time I was there (over a year ago now, as I have moved out of the area), they had been at the RSPCA for over a year and everyone in the office loved them and came to sit with them and cuddle. I think their owner would have been quite pleased.
People are getting mad about leaving money to pets but not about the cases where family members would fight in court to get the money that was set for the animals, yes I think it is absurd to give loads of money to a dog or cat, but a family member basically going against the deceased last wishes cmon that's even worse no morales just money hungry people
there are some extra insurences in wills that it cant be attacked in court but u need to give more money for those insurances
That is the plot of Aristocats
So the dog got 2 million and then the caretaker switched it to normal dog food. Maybe it needed the 12 million after all
$100 a month for dog food for a small breed of dog? In 2007? I imagine "normal" may simply be comparative.
@Ken Hudson The point is that a hundred dollars a month is still an insane amount of money to be spending on dog food for one small dog.
I love my pets, but in no way, shape, or form am I criticizing the caregiver for NOT giving the dog gold plated milk bones.
I tell my grandma that I will take care of her cat. She's worried about him, either my aunt or I will take her beast.
keriezy that's very kind of you ❤
you should say you will take her cat then when she dies kill the cat and put it in her coffin
keriezy You are the best!!!! 💕
A lot of people only have love for their pets because humans (both relatives and society) have betrayed and hurt them numerous times.
The people I trust and love are already dead so unless that changes I will leave everything I have to my pets.
By the way my family and relatives hate my pets they say why live in your house with pets you can let us live there.
Why would I want them to live with me they didn't care when I was homeless?
Also they are abusive towards animals like they think dogs should be chained up outside and cats don't even get a meal just a place to sleep.
PinayBeautyAndStyle you should definitely find some pals that are fellow animal lovers, (maybe at a dog park or something) you’d feel much happier knowing that your animals are going to get looked after by someone you can trust c:
Taga san ka?
On the other hand, some people, like that lady in the video, are so confrontational and abusive that they can't go along with other people (nor do they particularly place effort into it) and they can only get along with an animal which has unconditional (blind) love for them or at least they need to think they do.
PinayBeautyAndStyle that's unfortunate, hope you find Some fellow animal lovers.
Really comes down to how much you trust your family.
To my son, who spent every time I gave him...I leave...a dime. To my cat, "Lucky," who has been my only friend, for the past five years, I leave my entire estate, valued at over $100 million.
Im just imagining the poor pupper who has his house repossessed because the pet trust didnt have all the funds to pay for taxes etc
How did certain euphemisms for death come about eg: 'Buy the farm', 'Kick the bucket', 'Go west' etc ?
Alastair Preece I'm fairly certain kicking the bucket refers to kicking a bucket out from underneath one's feet to hang one's self.
thats right... kicking the bucket....
"When a military pilot with a stricken airplane attempted to crash land
in a farmer's field, he would destroy a portion of the farmer's crops
for which the US government paid reimbursement to the farmer."
In East Asian folk lore, the western heaven is well, a heaven.
Jason Yanes Refering to God.
It can never be on any debate, how much people love their pets, and how they want to be sure, that they are taken care for after owners death. People who dont like animals, dont understand this, they always have some 'good' ideas about who to spend the money on, but it has to be what the petowner want for his animal friend or friends, so at the end of the day, dont make wishes for other peoples money, even they should burn them all in the garden.....
Gotta love how part of his glasses keep disappearing
This is a serious problem and one more people should think about. My dog who I just adopted a few months ago was left abandoned after his female owner died and her husband was forced to go into a nursing home. He and several other dogs were left to run with neighbors feeding them every few days. People need to plan for this kind of thing, especially older people. I know not everyone can spend a lot of money on a trust, but they should at least have a plan.
death threats against a dog because of money, that's a special level of assholery :/ esp an elderly dog who already suffered the trauma of losing their owner. people suck.
Great video, your glasses where a little distracting every time you moved your head the side they disappeared on the green screen. Haha
I was legitimately wondering this EXACT question five minutes before I saw this video
Taking care of your pet in your will is important. If u go to the pet adoption place u can see animals that were dumped there by the family of people who died, or got too old/sick/injured to take care of them.
What happens to fish in ponds that freeze over?
THAY DRAWN
large/deep ponds very rarely freeze all the way through , the fish just move deeper into the water. But with small ponds/pools, some fish may be able to hibernate in the pond until it thaws out in the spring.
Other than that, they just freeze to death and die.
I live near a lake. Most winters the fish survive just fine. They swim in the deeper waters, and the middle part of the lake usually thaws and refreezes a few times over the course of the winter. A few years ago we had a really harsh winter. The entire lake froze really thick, and there weren't any thaws. In the spring there were a lot of dead fish because the water had gotten too low in oxygen. Without any thaws or flowing movement the oxygen supply couldn't replenish.
It becomes a refrigerator for your sea food
@@CalliopePony So, you're saying to cut a hole like you're ice fishing if the lake freezes thick and doesn't thaw enough. Maybe get an air pump?
Yo, this video changed my life plans. I'm now going to make it make life's work to acquire as much wealth as I can and get as many children as I physically could, then take a fking pet galapagos turtle when I'm like 85 and give it the most luxurious treatment I could without threatening their health. And then leave everything to the care of my turtle.
Imagine how expensive or complicated it would be for someone with a pet tortoise.
Minnesota passed the Pet Trust Law in May 2016. Pet owners may now rest easy.
I am going to request some... Interesting things in my will.
1- any pet that I have is to be given to a close relative and said relative will receive a financial reward from this. At some point before the pet dies, they must make it a bed out of dollar bills, appropriate to the size of the pet. Even if said pet could never use the bed, due to being aquatic or otherwise. Unless the request is fulfilled, the caretaker will not receive the reward.
2- I will pick two relatives that have a burning hatred for each other, and let them have my house on the condition that they live together. Even if they don't move into my house and instead sell it, they must live together for at the very least, however long it takes to sell the house. If they do not complete this task, the house will be given to another one of my relatives.
3- My body shall be taken to an open field, and blown up. 5000$ worth of dynamite is to be used. I guess this counts as a cremation?
Didn't even know I had this question
I miss my cat. I kinda thought he'd outlive me. He was only 1 and a half years, and cats normally live for like 16 years.... My poor lil kitty cat man.. he got robbed of over 15 years.
Interesting video. This topic is especially important to people who own parrots, as some species have extremely long lifespans. When you have an animal that may outlive you by half a century, it's important to make arrangements.
do a video on why vanilla extract smells so delicious but tastes like satans wrath
well... a man's besfriend is his dog so...
and a woman's is her pussy ...cat. :-3
I am so glad I'm in a family I can trust. If I wanted a pet cared for after my death, all I would have to put in my will is something along the lines of "I want my sister to take care of my cat." Maybe with a letter attached if there are special care requirements, like medical conditions, or if the cat is a picky eatter. Of course, I'm not rich, and my family wouldn't be fighting over whatever I have to leave after I go, so that may be a factor.
It would be cool if you could set it up in the beginning with the animal going to a No Kill shelter, and have some good person who wants the animal to start. And have the funds distributed from a trust account, that allows them to purchase food and veterinary care for the animal. Since Shelters check up on your living conditions and how you care for them more than Child Services.
Kind of like:
Adopter - "I'd like to adopt this dog."
Shelter - "Okay; no problem, this dog also comes with a life time supply of food, vet bills, and accessories. Please use this card at the following retailers, and get the Veterinarian to call this number on the back."
Thank you for this very important and detailed video. I will make sure to avoid dying before my pets pass away.
I gave my will to my pet Boulder.
My favorite story is the family living in the house left to a few magically color changing cats since around the late 90s
My sister is going to take care of my cats. We've set aside money for their care. Our house is almost paid for so she can sell and get another place. Great info to know.
When you have no friends, so you just give all your worldly goods to your dog, Buster.
not necessarily prob not jasper cause i will prob out live him but i will make provisions for the dog i have at the time of my death. not because "i don't have friends" but because I truly believe that in my situation of needing a service dog and asking the dog to do all that they do for me, there is no thanks to that dog by going "oh well your handler died to the pound with you".
Heeeyyy Vsauce, Micheal here....
Shit wrong channel
@2:35 that "real estate hammer" haha, the estate layers hammer, he strikes it when will is complete & calls out "this is a real estate"
In the 1951 movie "Rhubarb", a baseball team is willed to a cat. The movie is largely forgotten, but features an early roll by Leonard Nimoy.
Vsauce sounds different here
im gonna put a small loan of a million dollars in my will for my pet rock
i really wish my grandmother had done this. My dad didn't want house to be sold until the cats on the property died or were re-homed. Her sister and my aunts tried to starve her cats to death so she could sell the house sooner. And now I'm caring for them out of my own pocket.
SImon can you whistle?
he released a compilation of him whistling on patreon i think
I’m sure he got that a lot as a kid just like I got tip toe through the tulips by tiny Tim even still today I hate that song
Today I am Apache Helicopter. Tomorrow I will be a Siamese cat 🐱 . Show me the money!
I've seen maybe 4 comments about the Aristocats. Come on people! He even mentioned it specifically!
There is also the possibility of losing the ability to care for the pets before your death. A few yeas ago a good friend asked me to fly from my home in Oregon to care for her mother, who was being put into a nursing home. She had 4 dogs and 3 cats, all of whom needed new homes. One of the dogs actually belonged to a friend of hers, so that was easy. Another dog went to the woman's sister, but the third dog and the cats were another issue. The woman had Alzheimer's and was no longer able (or willing) to make these decisions for herself. Fortunately she had a lot of people around her who cared and were honest enough to do the right things for her. It was a really sad and stressful thing. I could not imagine what would have happened had she only had who two older children (both drug addicts -one already dead by that time) to get her through this.
I only met my friends next older sibling, the other two I never met face to face, but from what I've gathered they are/were both quite selfish and dishonest.
That's a petty problem
PlayTheMind nothing wrong with wanting your friend taken care of after you die. I would never give a house or anything crazy though
+David Castleberry It was a pun, jeez.
David Castleberry PETty problem
That's just because you're not rich and crazy.

Your head
the plot of garfeild 2
The Mammalizer wasn't there already a Garfield 2?
HowToFish yes and this was the plot of it
This is particularly important for people who own parrots. I am not even 50 years old but my parrot is only 15, he could potentially outlive me and I need to consider what will happen to him when I am not around to care for him.
Sooooo… Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties… has a basis in reality….
I need some aspirin.
What if the pet runs away? What if one pet is left out of the will, must it leave? What if you have no pets, how do you screw over your family members then?!
Let me simplify things:
Leave your money with a pet lover you trust, especially if they're family. For example...my brother is a dog owner and loves dogs of course. I can comfortably leave all money and dog with him, should anything occur to me.
However I also have a good friend that loves all animals, but only owns a Parrot. So i know he would take care of whatever animal I leave him.
An elderly gentleman across the street from me died and because I had occasionally helped him with his dog, the neighbors who found him ill and got him to the hospital had planned to give his dog to me on his death because my dog had died. However, a niece turned up and took the dog. Yes, small town living.
good thing you cant sue beyond the grave... if somebody gave my money to people I expressly removed from my will I would be pissed!
To the person scrolling down through the comments: I hope you are having a good day! And if you are not, I hope it gets better soon :-).
+Anush Yaranushian, You are most welcome :-).
A while ago one DJ Khaled posted the same comment on a video, and I remembered how it made me smile! After DarkKnight's "Controversial" comment (LOL) below, I thought it would provide a bit of contrast :-).
A good day from Canada.
Thanks 😀
Thank you, you are too kind
Thank you! The same to you!
These comments are disgusting. Animals are like your own children, and if you don't see them as such then don't get one. They deserve nothing less than being cared for to the best of your ability, just as you would for a child. Honestly I don't understand people who don't see animals as family. And I mean FAMILY, not just a "family member" who's lower on the hierarchy than the others. I can't wait until people's perspectives shift to seeing them the way they should be seen.
You must be a joy to be around.
Sure but you don't leave them the bloody house. What should be done is a certain amount of money is put aside to relocate the pet to another loving home. The current system can lead to the pet being mistreated by a greedy person.
TheVeganWolf Animals are not like my children, it is disgusting for you to even suggest this.
TheVeganWolf no animal is worth a human.
TheVeganWolf you must not have children of your own. If you did, you wouldn't even dream of comparing their lives to an animal's.
I have left money for my pets to be looked after and have specified their requirements and appointed them a solicitor to ensure they are treated properly.
I've got a Norwegian blue!
Doesn't do much, just sits there....on his perch.
Wow. I've never been this early to anything.
A few weeks ago you talked about animals being elected mayors. What happens if the animal dies in office?
Emergency election, I suppose.
I can see this becoming the plot of a comedy series. Random person is appointed caregiver of some wealthy deceased person's pet, and moves into their mansion in their affluent neighborhood with a large salary.
If I left everything to my finches they'd blow the lot on millet , cuttlefish and illegal iodine blocks
You'll never know my original comment
you know nothing you snowy betch
The Rant Show you'll never know my reply to you you green bitch
I'm oddly saddened by this........
Jon Snow Damn you...
Simple: You removed the punctuation marks that weren't apostrophes.
If you don't have anyone in your life that you trust enough to take care of your pet after you die, without a financial incentive, then there is something very wrong with the way you lived your life.
If you have an exotic pet.trusting it to someone who doesn't know that much about the animal is actually dangerous.
Parrots and tortoises are the most common animals to end up on the list.they have a lot of special needs and cost a lot to careful.so leaving them with trust make sense.
Nah humans are just rotten and sneaky af. Most of us run only after money.
Or your family is garbage.
+Makayla Cooprider
And what have you done to change that? not a damn thing I bet. I'm sick and tired of people like you who moan and bitch about how bad the world is, but never done anything to change it. And that's the world that you live in, because you're ignorant. There are people out there who worked hard, and have more sympathy for others, and tried to help as much as they can even though they're poor themselves.
You can't change human nature dude.
I'm my grandmother's dogs care taker so when my grandparents pass I get both dogs. They will be safe and that's all anyone can ask for.
This has to be the most through and pedantically covered topic ever on this program.
What is on his left forearm?
A band-aid
This really makes you think... Why _do_ we spend so much money to have an animal roam around your house? Whenever my cat has the slightest indication of unhealthiness, and a week later $3,000 is spent on complex MRI scans, cutting their stomach open, and a plethora of medicines. She had nothing wrong with her, in reality. Animals are extremely wonderful and comforting to have around, but, to be honest, I would not invest that amount of money into one. :/
Edit: Damn people are actually taking my hastily thought out comment seriously. I better do something about this before something of a much greater amplitude occurs...
Andrew Kovnat I think because its something you have control over in a world where that doesnt happen much.
Jaz Gordon $20? Do you not feed it?
Man invest in some pet insurance! my work provides it for like $10 a month through statefarm.
Jaz Gordon dude 20 bucks wont keep anything alive for a month, also wtf is with the "goofball", are u a kid who never had a pet before??? Or ur pets probably all died within a month(maybe cus of that 20 dollar budget each month)
SIIGHHH
Cats will eat a lot of scraps and leftovers, if you cook you should have no problem finding some shit to feed it. But hey, Mr. Boots will die if you don't shell out to buy him the same stuff but in a can with an attractive label or high tech purina™ grease flavoured cereal.

There was a woman in Pinehurst NC that left her $5 million dollar estate to her dog and he was also required to have his filet mignon for lunch and dinner every day. True story. My mother wrote an article for the local newspaper in 1978.
Don't go too far down the comments... it's dangerous.
Bequeefed?
Gran Santo he said that the second I read this
Bequeathed. To bequeath something to someone means leaving them something in their will
Conewood same 😅
Mmm... queef.
I thought it was weird but now it makes sense, not every old person has a grandkid to give the pet to like my nana did, or have a child who would allow the grandkid to keep said pet.
Making a Living Will and or Foundation + Estate and Trust for a pet, can also be used to work around sibling squables (if any) and or the person might genienly be conflicted what they want done with their stuff including money. So they'll name a pet as the person that gets it all. California has had several cases of all of those.
this seems like something selfish or something you do just to piss you relatives
Who is selfish?
zero What if your relatives are all asses, I mean snowball always loved me.
I'd say it's needed if you've got something like a parrot or certain reptiles.
Maybe in extreme cases, but I assume its mostly used to make sure your pet isn't pounded or put down when you die and actually gets treated well.
People love their animals and want to make sure they are cared for! There is nothing selfish about that.
Im sorry, but the fact this kind of thing exists disturbs me.
*you know you're cool when you say "bequeathed" multiple times in 11 minutes*
This is probably what I'll have to do for Nibbles, my African Spurred Tortoise. They can live to 150 years old tops and Nibbles is only 5 years old.
Who first had this idea? Who first said hey immma leave my $30 million house to my cat?
Sport Fifa probably people with no or horrible families whose only companion is their pet.
Heather Thomas it's not just that, what lawyer in their right minds says "ok u wanna leave ur very expensive house to your cat... I think I can do that"
Sport Fifa if it's their money why do you care? They must love their pet of they do that.
HowToFish just a question... I'm not judging anybody
Maybe the lawyer thinks "If I don't comply with their ridiculous demand they will move on to another lawyer." Although lawyers shouldn't plant that thought in their clients head in the first place if the client demands it and threatens to change lawyer then I suppose they have no choice.
You will be forgotten because no one wants to be friends with someone who disregarded them to a pet
Dr Fibbles
If youre friends with someone purely based on the hopes that he/she will give you money at his death then you are 1st a piece of shit and 2nd not their friend.
So all i all it is a bit complicated. It is best to find someone you trust. Other than that I see nothing wrong with wanting your pet to have a good life after your dead.
I hope the caretaker don't die before the pet.
