Lunch & Learn: Don’t Forget Your Pet in Your Will

Have you considered what would happen to your pet in the event of your death or incapacity? By creating provisions in your estate plan, you can rest assured that your pet will be cared for after you are gone. Join this free online workshop hosted by the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History to learn how to safeguard your pets.
