As life changes, it is important to recognize major life events when it is pertinent to prepare, review, or update estate plan documents. Whether you recently got married, just had a baby, bought a house, went through a divorce, have an adult child, or are acquiring assets that may need tax planning provisions, be proactive and make sure the proper estate plan documents are in place.
When it comes to estate planning, most people think about providing for their loved ones—but what about the furry, feathered, or scaled members of your family? In the United States, 68% of households own at least one pet, according to the American Pet Products Association’s 2023-2024 National Pet Owners Survey. For many, pets are more than just companions—they’re family. Ensuring their care after your death or incapacity is a vital part of comprehensive estate planning. In Illinois, a Pet Trust offers a powerful solution to guarantee your pet’s well-being long after you’re gone.
