An elderly mom from Shanghai has decided to leave her $2.8 million fortune to her pets, stating that they are her only source of comfort in her old age.
The woman, known only as Ms Liu, cut her three children out of her will because they didn’t visit or care for her, according to The South China Morning Post.
Originally, Ms Liu had planned to leave her wealth to her children, but changed her mind due to their lack of contact.
In her updated will, she insists all her money must be used to look after her pets and any future offspring, with a local vet clinic appointed to manage her inheritance and care for the animals.
She wanted to leave all her money directly to her pets, but that’s not allowed in China, Chen Kai, an official from the Will Registration Centre headquarters in Beijing told The South China Morning Post.
“However, there are alternatives to solve this issue,” Kai said.
“Liu’s current will is one way and we would have advised her to appoint a person she trusts to supervise the vet clinic to ensure the pets are properly cared for.”
An official warned Ms Liu about the risks of giving all her cash to the vet clinic.
“We told Auntie Liu that if her children change their attitude towards her, she could always alter her will again,” they said.
The story has sparked a lot of online debate in China.
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.

You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I find this topic to be really one thing that I think I’d by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very extensive for me. I’m looking forward to your next submit, I will try to get the hold of it!

After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any manner you’ll be able to remove me from that service? Thanks!
