Shanghai woman defies tradition, leaving $2.8 million to beloved pets
Liu, an elderly woman in Shanghai, surprised many by bequeathing her $2.8 million fortune not to her three adult children, but to her cherished cats and dogs. This unconventional decision stemmed from Liu’s disappointment in her children’s perceived lack of care, especially during her illness. Finding solace and companionship in her furry friends, Liu chose to express her deepest affection through this remarkable inheritance.
However, legal restrictions in China prevent direct bequests to animals. To honor Liu’s wishes, a local veterinary clinic will manage the inheritance, ensuring the pets receive the best possible care for the rest of their lives.
Many people are of the opinion that the pets were more loyal to Liu than her family members, hence, her decision on her inheritance.
