The lawyer or his firm will make arrangements when I pass away with the
cat society and shelters that I volunteer at or a shelter society will be
set up in my family name either or the animals come out the better.  They
will get their own place to live paid for,  the cat society or shelter will
be paid for. I have the clause is that the cats can never be put to sleep
with out 3 vets recommendations and the lawyers personal inspection.  Also I
require monthly visits by the lawyer or firm  and quarterly check ups for
the cats documented.  There is a clause that if death occurs that is not
natural  such as poisoning, getting hit by a car that money and or shelter
gets donated to the humane society or ASPCA; this is to prevent any
deliberate stealing.  I also have another firm that will check my lawyers'
firm just in case.

   Now this is all in case me and my wife are gone and my children which is
a big chance of not happening it is just in case you never know now a days.
My human children will be very taken care of. They have cats of there own
and love mine.  My four legged children also will have an estate that will
be for them to be taken care of  when they finally pass away same clause
from above if my children are still alive.   The rest of my pets estate will
be donated to Humane society, ASPCA or shelter I will let my children decide
at that time; I know they will do the right thing
.
    It sounds like a lot of money but the nice thing is I have a lot of
life insurance and a little silver spoon in the mouth.

   You have to be careful about doing this for animals some states don't
recognize the fact that you have left your estate to a animal,  some
insurance companies will not pay out to an pet. They think  mentally
unstable and it goes to probate for the state to decide which means good bye
to everything.   I have mine set up in a trust fund, a lower estate fund and
a corporate non profit amenity.  They will be the million dollar kitties.

   Ted if you can get as much insurance as possible now  and it was a pain
to try to get extra insurance as soon as I got over 40.  It cost alot of
money to get but it is worth it.  I am not leaving any of my loved ones out
on the street.  I even have my long time employees taken care of if anything
happens to all of us and my stores have to be sold.

Talk to a estate lawyer he will direct you in the right direction.  It will
cost several hundred dollars to properly prepare the estate and last will
and testament  but it is worth every dime to know your loved ones are safe.
all my funeral arrangements are done already there is nothing to worry
about.  That makes me feel alot better every time I get behind the wheel and
drive with these idiots out there

Ted on a personally note you are over 60  do you have a living will made if
not any lawyer will do one for $20 or you can get one off the internet.  I
ain't living hooked up to a machine when there is no chance of living a
normal life just my opinion.  Got any questions ask away
