Some good and some silly advice for dealing with pets after death. The good is to think about a pet trust to provide financially for a pet after death. The silly is to name the pet in a will, which I have never done in 25 years of drafting wills. The sillier is to carry a “pet card” in a wallet so if one is struck by a car or has a heart attack, authorities will know that there is a pet at home that needs care. No word on whether one should leave the Best Buy Rewards Zone card, Staples Rewards card, or airline frequent flyer card out of the wallet to make room for the “pet card.”
