Keeping the Pooch out of Probate
According to the Pew Research Center, 97% of pet owners consider their pets to be a part of the family. But not everyone thinks about what will happen to their pets if they die or become unable to care for them. And the consequences of failing to plan can be stark. Pets can end up in shelters where the standard of care is not what their owners would prefer, and many are euthanized. But a Wisconsin estate plan can include instructions on caring for four-legged friends.
