Have you thought about what would happen to your pet if something happened to you? 🐾

For a lot of us, pets are family. But without a plan in place, it may not be clear who would step in to care for them, or how that care should look.

A Will can help by setting out who you trust to take them in, naming a backup caregiver, and making financial provision for things like food, vet bills, insurance and everyday costs.
You can also prepare a Statement of Wishes covering the little, and big, things a new caregiver would need to know, from routines and medication to favourite treats, quirks and other care needs.

It’s also worth reviewing these arrangements when things change, whether that’s a new pet, a different caregiver or a change in circumstances.

Without a plan, these decisions can be left to family or an executor to work through at an already difficult time.

Putting clear arrangements in place can give you peace of mind knowing your pet will be cared for in the way you would want.

If you’d like help putting a plan in place for your pet, our team can assist with preparing or updating your Will and Statement of Wishes.

In some cases, an interim injunction may be available to temporarily stop certain conduct while the wider dispute is resolved. That can include preventing asset transfers, changes to bank access, misuse of confidential information, diversion of customers or the establishment of a competing business.

These applications are time-sensitive and usually require clear evidence of the threatened conduct and the harm that may follow, so acting early can be important.

If you are dealing with a shareholder or director dispute, our dispute resolution team at Young Hunter can help you understand what options may be available.
