A woman in China, known as Ms. Liu, has stirred up controversy by deciding to leave her $2.8 million fortune to her pets after feeling neglected by her children, who allegedly did not visit her during her old age or periods of illness.
According to Zonglan News, while her children were absent during her time of need, Ms. Liu found companionship and comfort in her pets—a collection of cats and dogs who stayed by her side. In gratitude for their loyalty, she made the bold decision to amend her will, removing her children and naming her beloved pets as the beneficiaries instead.

Ms. Liu’s children were reportedly outraged to be excluded from the will in favor of her pets, and the blow was even harder with the substantial sum involved. Her furry companions would have inherited an impressive 20 million yuan (approximately $2.8 million USD).
However, there’s a major complication: Chinese law does not allow inheritances to be left directly to animals. This restriction could complicate Ms. Liu’s wishes and create a legal challenge over the fate of her considerable estate.
