FAQ
A letter of instruction is a document that lists all of your important financial account information in one place. This important estate planning document is intended to help your family members (or executors) if something happens to you.
A letter of instruction is an informal letter to an executor, personal representative, and/or other family members that provides important information about your assets and final wishes after death.
It's a good way to let to those trusted to take care of your affairs know what you would want them to know. Since the letter of instruction is not a legal document, it does not need to be notarized or signed in the presence of witnesses or with any other special formality.
Request for documentation: The bank will request documentation such as a certified copy of the death certificate and legal documents indicating who has the authority to make decisions regarding the deceased assets.
Including Your Pet in Your Will Once you have selected a caregiver for your pet, finalize the arrangement and include it in your will. This ensures that you are leaving formal instructions for who will take custody of the animal after your passing. You may also want to discuss setting up a trust with your attorney.
Animal Care Services An animal weighing less than 15 pounds may be deposited in County curbside garbage carts. Dead animals more than 15 pounds or animals disposed in quantity should be taken to a rendering plant, veterinary clinic, pet cemetery, or Kiefer landfill (check hard-to-handle items for days/hours/fees)​.
Your local humane society should be willing to take them in. They'll have you sign a custodial release form/contract basically just saying that the dog isn't yours and that it was left in your care but the owner hasn't returned/has died.
