About the Program

The majority of households have pets that, in terms of the law, are considered tangible personal property. However, most households view these companion animals as members of their family. This presentation shows how to easily and effectively draft must-have pet-oriented boilerplate provisions for the estate planning client and comprehensive trusts for those clients who want special attention for their precious pet. This is another dimension of adding value to legal services.

This program is presented by the Trust and Estates Law section, co-chaired by Jacqueline Yu and Courtney Patton. The section is sponsored by The Sanborn Team, Bond Services of California, Liberty Mutual, California Title Company, and Pickford Escrow Company. This program is cosponsored by the Animal Law section. Find out more at www.bhba.org.
