A pet trust is a legal instrument that provides for the ongoing care of a pet after the owner’s death or incapacity. It names a guardian to care for the pet and a trustee to manage funds.
The guardian should be someone you trust to follow your care instructions. Consider reliability, availability, and ability to meet your pet’s needs.
Yes, funds can come from savings, assets, or other resources. A plan should specify funding sources and amounts.
Pet trusts are typically established to avoid probate for the pets’ care, though the trust itself may be subject to probate rules.
It’s wise to begin planning early, especially if you have pets, property, or dependents. We can help you start now.
If a guardian cannot fulfill duties, you can appoint an alternate guardian and ensure funding continues for the pet’s care.
Yes. Pet trusts can be updated with amendments or restated; regular reviews ensure the plan remains current.
