Paws for Estate Planning

Your love for pets can live on fur-ever

 

Give Monthly This National Estate Planning Awareness Week (NEPAW), we’re offering every member of our community a vital resource to ensure your pets and loved ones are cared for—no matter what.  This week offers a unique opportunity to have meaningful conversations with your family about estate planning and planned giving (don’t worry—we promise it’s easier than it sounds). These conversations are surprisingly positive and it feels great to have peace of mind about the future.  To help you break the estate-planning ice, here’s a checklist of questions to get you started:  ☑️ Guardianship: Who would we want to care for our children and/or pets?  ☑️ Financial Management: Who would we want to help manage our finances? Who would be our financial power of attorney?  ☑️ Health Decisions: Does our medical power of attorney know our health concerns and wishes? ☑️ Veterinary Care: Is our pet(s) medical history and veterinarian’s information accounted for?  ☑️ Readiness and Willingness: Are the chosen family members or friends aware of these roles and willing to take them on?  ☑️ Legacy: What impactful causes (like saving pets in need) do we want to support through our legacy?’  These conversations can be complex, but we offer this free online service to make creating your plan quick, free and straightforward.   By creating an estate plan, you're not only securing your pet's future; you're also building a legacy of compassion. With an optional legacy gift to Seattle Humane, you can ensure that pets in need will always have a haven—powering our adoption services, pet food bank, support for pet owners, low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, wellness exams, education for all ages, and more.  Create my free will I encourage you to start the conversation with your loved ones this NEPAW and build a legacy for pets that lasts fur-ever. Sincerely, Brenda Tincher Planned Giving Officer P.S. If you’ve already created an estate plan and included a gift to support Seattle Humane, please let us know here so we can thank you!
