Question: I'm a 74-year-old widower with about $1.5 million in my retirement account. About a year ago, I brought home a Chihuahua named "Peanut," who has given me great joy and become my constant companion.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my two adult children, who quite honestly can't stand Peanut. Since Chihuahuas can live up to 20 years, and I don't trust my kids to take care of Peanut when I'm gone, I'm worried about what will happen to her. How can I make sure Peanut is cared for when I pass? I'm willing to pay someone if that's what it takes.
