Recently, a group of dogs was left with a total of $800,000 and the house they lived in. How can this be legal? If an animal kills or harms a human, they are treated as an animal and usually put down, but it's ok to leave them money and possessions and treat them as human? How can you do that? I understand that a will is supposed to be a binding legal agreement (or however you would word it), but seriously, that's like me saying I want my estate divided in half between three people.

oh, and I should add that I know this isn't the only time this has happened, I'm only using it as an example.

No; it's a simple matter of leaving the estate in trust with a trustee to execute distribution of funds. Happens every day' just not with animals as beneficiaries of the trust.
