Abstract
The fate of a much-loved pet is often a cause of worry or distress for elderly or ill testators, and lawyers may find it difficult to reassure their clients of the well-being of the pet after the death of the client. It is true that often there are limited options for the care of a pet after a testator’s death, but some suggestions can be made to alleviate the concern felt by clients in this situation. This paper deals with the various options, and suggests that there are pitfalls to be avoided in trying to provide for a pet after your death.
