Willio allows you to choose someone to care for your pets in the event of your death. You can choose to leave any pets that you own at your death or you can leave specific pets to certain people. You can also provide for backups in case that person is unable to take them.
If you leave money to your pet guardian to care for your pets, you are essentially giving them a specified amount of money and asking that it be used for the care of your pets. You may also view this as compensating the person who is taking care of your pets. You should consider the amount of this gift and make sure it makes sense with your overall estate plan. Typically a gift to care for pets would not be a substantial amount of your overall estate. If you do not have any pets at the time of your death then this gift would not be made and the money would go to your estate.
