WillMarch 13, 2023by Finex & CoArrangement for Pets in the event of death

When we pass away, have we considered what will happen to the pets we adore? Do we have any plans for their care or how they will manage to survive without us? It’s essential to prepare for any unexpected events that may occur and ensure that our pets are taken care of. We must take action to ensure that our pets will receive the necessary love and care they require, even if we are no longer able to provide it.

 

  1. Appointing a Pet Guardian

Appointing a pet guardian involves designating a trustworthy individual or organization to take care of your pet in the event of your death or incapacity. It’s important to discuss your plans with the chosen pet guardian to ensure that they are willing and able to take on the responsibility.

To appoint a pet guardian, the first step is to choose someone who is willing and able to provide the necessary care for your pet. This should be someone who has a good relationship with your pet, understands their needs, and is willing to make a long-term commitment to their care. Appointing a pet guardian can give you peace of mind knowing that your beloved pet will be taken care of even if you are no longer able to do so yourself.

 

  1. You may allocate funds to pay regular allowance to the Pet Guardian.

Allocating funds to the pet guardian involves setting aside financial resources to cover the costs of caring for your pet in the event of your death or incapacity. This can be done through a formal legal document such as a pet trust.

To allocate funds to the pet guardian, you will need to determine the amount of money that will be needed to cover your pet’s expenses, such as food, medical care, grooming, and other necessary costs. You should also consider any additional expenses that may arise, such as emergency veterinary care or unexpected travel expenses for the pet guardian.

Once you have determined the amount of money needed, you can set up a pet trust and name the pet guardian as the trustee. The trustee will be responsible for managing the funds and using them to provide for your pet’s care as outlined in the trust document.

Allocating funds to the pet guardian can help ensure that your pet receives the care they need and deserve, even if you are no longer able to provide it yourself.

  1. Creating a Will for your Pets.

To create a will for your pets, you should consider the following steps:

  1. Identify a caregiver for your pets: Choose someone who is willing and able to take care of your pets if you are no longer able to do so. Make sure to have a conversation with them to ensure that they are willing to take on the responsibility
  2. Choose an alternate caregiver: Identify an alternate caregiver in case your first choice is unable or unwilling to take on the responsibility.
  3. Specify your pets: Clearly identify your pets in the will, including their names and descriptions, to ensure there is no confusion.
  4. Provide care instructions: Provide detailed instructions for the care of your pets, including their feeding and exercise routines, any medication they require, and any special needs they have.
  5. Allocate funds: Consider setting aside funds to cover the costs of caring for your pets, including food, medical care, and other necessary expenses. You can do this through a pet trust or by allocating funds to the caregiver in your will.
  6. Name a trustee: If you choose to set up a pet trust, name a trustee to manage the funds and ensure that they are used to provide for your pets’ care.
  7. Execute the will: Once you have drafted the will, sign and date it in the presence of witnesses to make it legally binding.

Remember to review and update your will regularly to ensure that it continues to reflect your wishes and meets your pets’ changing needs.

In Conclusion 😊

Including pets in wills and trusts is not a common practice among many Malaysians, as they may assume it is only meant for their human beneficiaries. However, it is possible to include pets in such legal documents in Malaysia. It is important to ensure that all necessary arrangements are made ahead of time to ensure the well-being of the pets in the event of the owner’s passing. If you require assistance with drafting a will or trust that includes provisions for your pets, do not hesitate to contact us for support. We are always happy to help with these matters.
