Event information

What are the rights and obligations of couples to their pets in family breakdowns? What happens if you and your ex-partner have different views toward the healthcare of your pet? Can you leave money in your will and obligations to one of your beneficiaries to look after your pet when you die? 

This event takes you through the ins and outs of how the law deals with animals in common situations during family breakdowns and deaths. You’ll hear from lawyers with experience in advising individuals on what are their rights and obligations toward pets in family situations.
