<prompt> Human: Obviously this is not an issue if only one of us dies, but it is something Ive thought about if both of us dies. I have life insurance with one company, but I just got an offer for life insurance through one of my banks. It comes out to 1month per 10K coverage. Theres also I think a combined option of 1.5month to cover boh my SO and I, per 10k I need to go in to discuss this though.Our friends and family live far away and either they are too old, or too busy to care for our pets should we pass. Theres also several people on my SOs side who are just awful people so they are not getting my babies or a fucking dime from me sorry--I hates them so hard.I volunteer with an animal rescue official with land, not run out of peoples homes. Im thinking about getting 20K life insurance on both of us. I would like to think that my initial life insurance would go towards cremation, funeral, and the time and costs to go through our stuff and move whatever is being kept. This is a separate issue that I will address with my SO, but its less of an issue because after were dead, so what? Our pets on the other hand, I cannot bear to think of them being taken to animal control and put down one might be adopted, the other would not. However depending on how old they are if we pass in the next few years, they would likely both be put down because of age.Assumming my two dogs live another 5 years, and the rescue takes them and gets 20K for their care pretty sure they would take them for free but this way I can stipulate they can only be adopted out together to a specific household situation no kids or kept on the rescues land for their remaining lives, I think they would be fine.My biggest question is-- these are living creatures. My SO has a roommate, I do not. If I die, how do I put a system into place where the animals and my dog specifically get picked up by the rescue so theyre not starving and being neglected for a week or more, potentially passing before someone realizes that there are unattended dogs whos owners will not be returning? :  <response>: Unfortunately theres no automated system to detect when youre dead and your pets need help. The best thing you can do is maintain a network of friends, family, and acquaintances who will notice your absence in the event you die. Unless you want to use one of those email services to set up an automated message. If you dont log in for X days the service could send an email to a bunch of people saying I am likely dead, please come to my address and check on my pets. That seems a little extreme though.
