My fiance has a son whose mental illness led him to withdraw from high school at 16. He has done nothing since. He doesn’t work, and his father hasn’t gotten him treatment for his issues.
Most of us make plans for when we die. Sometimes people do not get their estates in order before they pass. This is no one’s fault especially if someone dies unexpectedly. Part of our after-life plans need to include our pets. I have done articles on creating a pet trust and designating a trustee who will take care of pets left behind.
