Fall is upon us. I hope you are all hanging in there and staying safe in these still-challenging times.
Happy Anniversary to us! September 8 marked our firm’s 22nd business anniversary. Time certainly flies when you’re having fun!
I also note that yesterday, September 13, was National Pet Memorial Day. You can include your pets in your estate planning, from a simple section in your will about who should care for them upon your passing to a robust pet trust. Good estate planning encompasses creating a support system for your beloved pets in terms of their financial needs for food and veterinary care, as well as their emotional needs for comfort and protection.
Sherry’s much-loved cats, Cascade and Chinook, enjoy their role as helpful members of our office team!
We have a page dedicated to estate planning for pets on our website: https://staceyromberg.com/pets-in-estate-planning/, which includes links to blog posts and articles I have written and been quoted in addressing pets in an estate planning context. Pets are family! Let us help you ensure they’re treated that way if you’re no longer around to care for them.

Read more from Sherry on why now may be a good time to update or create guardianship plans for your children.
