One of the amazing benefits to living in North Carolina compared to other states is the protection this State allows for your furry, feathered, finned, pawed or hoofed family members with estate planning. North Carolina allows you to plan for the care and welfare of your pets after you are gone through your estate plan.

Pets immediately come with many financial responsibilities such as food, shelter and vet bills. Luckily, the law in North Carolina allowing for you to establish a Testamentary Pet Trust within your Last Will and Testament for your pets also is designed to protect the financial amounts you bequeath for their care.
