Join Laura J. Martin, Attorney & Counselor at Law, to learn how you can include your pet in your estate planning. Join SICSA and Attorney Laura J. Martin, Ohio’s leader in Pet Planning education, to learn how to provide for and protect your pets, preserve your own continuing relationship with your animals, and more. This presentation will cover the range of available Pet Planning options, how to add pet-related terms to general powers of attorney, wills, and traditional estate planning trusts, and when to create pet-specific estate planning documents like Pet Powers of Attorney and Pet Trusts. What is Pet Planning? Pet Planning is the process of planning and preparing in advance to protect your future relationship with your pets and to provide for and protect your animals upon your future death, illness, or inability to care for them without assistance. Pet Planning usually involves adding pet-specific terms to routine estate planning documents like wills, powers of attorney, and family or individual trusts. It sometimes includes more specialized documents, such as Pet Powers of Attorney or Pet Trusts. Pet Plans can range from very simple to extremely complex. There are Pet Planning options available to fit every person, family, pet, animal, circumstance, and budget. Guests can choose between two sessions.
