All My Children Wear Fur Coats: How to Leave a Legacy for Your Pet

Lawline Faculty Member Peggy Hoyt, J.D., M.B.A., presents "All My Children Wear Fur Coats: How to Leave a Legacy for Your Pet". 

Pets come in all shapes and sizes - from horses to hamsters, from ferrets to felines - and they inhabit our hearts with their own unique personalities. They share our day-to-day struggles, adventures, and special moments with us.  We share our homes, our beds and our hearts with our pets.  They leave us with a legacy of happy memories after they're gone.  Our pets love us unconditionally, help reduce stress and even enhance longevity.
