I'm sure alot you guys may not have a Living will as I don't but I know I will write one sooner or later. I know if anything would happen to me, my husband works entirely TOOO MUCH to take care of Bailey......Sorry you guys didn't mean to talk about death but the thought just pondered my brain  |
We have a will and Millie is taken care of in the will. We specifically had the attorney write her in, because he told us usually this is taken care verbally within the family and not addressed in the will. But I wanted to make sure she did not end up in rescue or humane society.
I have my daughter as her caregiver if my husband and I both should die. If only one of us dies, then of course Millie stays with survivor. We also have set aside a specific $$ amount from the estate to give to my daughter for the care of Millie.
Of course my other daughter was insulted that we did not pick her, but I explained that she and her husband (who absolutely adores Millie) work too much overtime and was always out on the weekends and my other daughter is much more of a home body, so that's why we picked her, but she certainly could have shared visitation.
So I feel secure in the knowledge that Millie will not be disregarded in case of our demise.
