Many clients assume that having nine lives simplifies estate planning. It does not. Each life requires its own will, and the assets, chiefly a bed, a toy mouse, and a bowl, must be divided in nine ways.
Partner Hortensia Clawford recommends a living trust, which would pass your favourite sock to a named beneficiary upon the death of any one life. She cautions that most clients are by their fifth life too old to remember where the sock is. Our estate planning package begins at 11 tins and includes a notarised paw print, which is mostly decorative.
