Donkeys is another example.

There's another option for some people who don't have someone who they can pick as a guardian.
matched
There are these places called Life Care Centers for Companion Animals.
matched
There's one in Texas that I wrote about in the story.
matched
And they have resident cats, dogs, birds, and donkeys.
matched
They're all cases where the owners passed away and then they left money to the care center and the pets are there being cared for.
matched
If you already have a will, it can be like a simple add-on.
matched
And then if you're doing a will for the first time, it would be just one section out of many sections in the will.
matched
So say you have children, you'd certainly have a section on guardians for your children and then another section on guardians for your pets.
matched
And one family I talked to, they made a point how they picked a different guardian for their children and for their pets.
matched
The guardian for their children, they wanted to make sure she would be the sister who was a big traveler because the children had relatives in Spain.
matched
And then the guardian for the pets was the one who lived near a nature preserve where they thought the dogs would be happy.
matched
They could ask, how do I pick my guardian?
matched
Or do I need a backup guardian?
matched
That's a really important thing.
matched
And whether they need the full-blown pet trust or if the pet provision...
matched
is enough for their case.
matched
Luckily, they eventually agreed to share the dog, so it was a happy ending.
matched
But that's an example where you really want the provision in your will so there isn't conflict like that over your pet after you pass away.
matched
So there's a specific list, things like medical bills, auto repairs, funeral expenses.
