Another Reason to have the right living trust: The trust lawyer from out of town, Frank...

• He travels the state to market living trusts at high-pressure dinners and seminars.

• He works hard to sell lots of documents, but not to help you make the right choices.

• Have questions? Need changes? You’ll have to call his real office in Southern California from going into Front Street, you have to get them fixed.”

• His prices sound fine, but it costs time and money when he makes mistakes.

• He’ll be long gone by the time your heirs learn what kind of plan you have.

So, why isn’t spay/neuter mandatory in Sacramento?

Sacramento shelter leaders cite the nationwide vet shortage. But other cities find ways.

Riverside County requires dogs and cats to be spay/neutered. San Francisco prohibits the breeding of pit bulls without a $100 permit fee. Pet owners in North Central Los Angeles with intact animals must pay a $100 license fee and $235 breeding permit. Long Beach has a mandatory spay/neuter ordinance. Individuals who want to breed their dog must apply for a $5,000 breeding permit.

It’s time for Sacramento to step up and stop the breeding.
