However, we’ve come to learn that even though these conversations and planning can be uncomfortable, they are needed and necessary.

With will and estate planning, we include our wishes, and the Power of Attorney for Property and Personal Care. If we have children, we make sure they are included as well. But what about our pets and the animals in our lives? Why aren’t they included in this planning? Good question right?

About Steven Klein: 
Steven Klein has been practicing law in the GTA since 1994 and has been active in the animal rescue community for over 20 years. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada at a young age. 

Steven attended York University for his undergraduate studies and majored in economics. He then went to Osgoode Hall Law School after undergrad and graduated in 1992. 

From the early days in his career, Steven has always tried to take on matters where he felt he could make a difference. Two of his most notable matters were successfully keeping a local library from being closed by the city for commercial redevelopment and helping families with children suffering from autism from having their critical government funding from being cut off at the age of six. 

After working for various firms over the years, Steven decided to open his own firm and focused on estate planning and corporate matters. Since this time, 7 years ago, he has never looked back. 

Steven is a father of two wonderful adult children and currently has two feline fur babies. He loves dogs and although he feels his two spirit dogs closely with him, he expects to adopt another four legged canine in the not too distant future. 

His true passion is animal rescue and Steven has volunteered for numerous animal rescues, both as a front-line volunteer and providing legal services to the rescues as well as fostering, transports, and fund raising. Steven loves playing hockey and watching professional sports (hockey, football and baseball).
