Have you planned for the future of your pets?

It's a serious question.

There are a lot of people who never plan for the "what ifs" for their families... I wonder how many more people there are that don't plan for their pets?

Perhaps it's because I work in the financial world that I'm more aware of the dire need to plan for things waaaaaaaaaay in advance?

If I were to die right now, after all is said and done with debts and burial, Muffin would probably walk away with about $140,000. That's a nice chunk of change right? In November, there will be an additional $150,000 there too. Of course, because I don't actually have a trust set up(yet), he wouldn't actually get the money.... I left pretty much everything I have to my brother. He knows the money is for the care of any anmial I own at the time of my death.

If I were to become disabled, than I have coverage to protect my income... of course I'll just have to make sure that my disablity takes away both of my feet so that I can keep the benefit for my entire life!!! :-P

I think after growing up watching the insanity that is my mother I have realized the importance of early planning. Why wait until you actually need something to realize you don't have it?

Still I wonder how many people's animals would be SOL if something were to happen to their owners?
