Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
All My Children Wear Fur Coats
Peggy R. Hoyt · 2002
Peggy Hoyt is a dual board-certified estate and elder law attorney who genuinely loves her animals — eight dogs, four horses, one cat — and that combination of legal expertise and personal passion fills a gap that most estate planners overlook entirely. The warm, accessible tone makes pet trust law feel manageable rather than daunting, and the sustained relevance (multiple editions, a nonprofit, a podcast) confirms this is not a one-off curiosity. Pet owners who want their animals cared for after they are gone will find this genuinely useful; Florida-specific legal details mean readers in other states should verify with local counsel.
