: Florida Estate Planning Lawyer BlogThe Family Dog and Florida Probate
By David M. Goldman
Most people would not believe that a family pet needs to be subjected to the Florida Probate process, but Florida Law defines animals as personal property and as such are subject to probate just like other personal property. Fortunately we can create provisions in our Florida Revocable Trust to deal with our animals or at least to own them so that they are not subjected to probate. If you want to provide for more than an easy transfer of the ownership of the animals, you might consider pet trust provisions to allow for the care of the animal in the event they survive you.
Next time you talk with your Florida Estate Planning Lawyer ask them about your pet and how they will be dealt with if you were to die.
