Do you have plans for your pets if you were to die? [View all]

I'm in a situation right now where I am having to have legal things taken care of.

I was going to name my only sibling as Executor. I received the envelope from my attorney a week or so again and could not bring myself to open it. Its just sitting here unopened.

I found out that my sibling lied. He won't be "caring" for my cats if I die! They will end up being "barn cats". Huh?

These are indoor pampered pets!

What plans do you have as I don't know what to do! I have not signed anything to appoint my sibling as the executor of my estate (which consists of the house I am living in). Said sibling wants this house and suddenly I get letters signed, With love. Never saw that before!

Giant ugh!

Please share what plans you may have with me. Any advice as to what to do with my tRUMP sibling is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
