How to leave a legacy for your pet. Animal companions… your pets… "your children." Whatever you call them, they are dearly loved family members. Our pets come to us from rescue shelters, from pet stores, from breeders, and from friends and family. Our pets come in all shapes and sizes — from horses to hamsters, from ferrets to felines — they inhabit our hearts with their own unique personalities. They share day-to-day struggles, adventures, special moments and play times with us. We share our homes, our beds and our hearts with our pets. We worry about our pets, too, just like our children, when they are not with us. 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. For all these reasons and so many more, you should explore all the alternatives for planning for your pet’s future without you and for your future without your pet. This book is for anyone who has ever loved a pet and wondered what he or she would do if their pet were no longer with them or what their pet would do if they were no longer there.

A Matter of Trust
The Importance of Personal Instructions
Peggy R Hoyt, J.D., M.B.A. &
Candace M. Pollock, J.D.
www.AMatterOfTrust.info
A Matter of Trust is a book for everyone—everyone, that is, who cares about what happens to them in the event of disability and to their legacy at the time of their death. Maggie Kinnick was a widow of comfortable means who created a revocable living trust on the advice of her trusted advisors after the death of her only child, Pat. Her trust was created to provide Maggie with financial caretakers when she could no longer handle her own affairs, and to distribute her legacy at death. Instead of protecting Maggie, the trust, and the way it was managed by her trustees, created a nightmare for her—one that continued even after her death. A Matter of Trust is the definitive guide to creating legal directives to avoid Maggie’s dilemma. It identifies the types of legal directives most people require and where and how to create personal instructions to properly guide caregivers about when and how discretion should be exercised.

Sharing and Saving a Lifetime of Stories
Scott Farnsworth & Peggy R. Hoyt J.D., M.B.A.
www.LikeALibraryBurning.com
If a story is worth sharing, we believe it is certainly worth saving. If shared stories are the threads in the ties that connect us person to person, then saved stories are the links in the chains that bind families over generations and entire cultures over centuries. If sharing our stories matters deeply—and we believe strongly that it does—then saving those stories matters just as much.
