Estate Planning for Your Cherished Pets

February 20th pet lovers everywhere celebrated “National Love Your Pet Day”, and at O’Donnell Law Center we value the special relationships people share with their pets. Our furry and not so furry, friends truly become family and it’s important we think about and provide care for cherished pets in case of death or disability of the pet owner. 

Do you have someone designated to step in as caregivers for your pets?  Do you want to provide financial assistance for the support and care of your pets if needed?   Do you want to ensure that your beloved animals do not end up in a shelter not of your choosing?   Estate planning for your pets is no different than planning for other family members, and the staff at O’Donnell Law Center can help you ensure that your pets receive the care, support and yes even pampering they are accustomed to in the event your caregiver role abruptly comes to an end. 

About Our Estate Plans:

People rarely want to think about end of life preparations and the effect their passing will have on those they love.  However, without proper estate planning your pets may be left with little hope for a continued happy and healthy future.  So, whether you simply wish to designate caregivers through a basic estate plan or desire to provide specific expectations for the continued support and care within our pet trust provisions, we want to walk you through the process to ensure your beloved pets are never left homeless or neglected.


If you are interested in learning more about estate planning options to safeguard the continued loving care for your cherished pets, contact our law center at the Lake of the Ozarks today.

Also, if you or your loved one is home or hospital-bound and cannot come to us, we will travel to you.
