We tailor terms to your pet’s needs, your family situation, and your budget, so care continues smoothly across generations.
A pet trust places assets in a dedicated trust for your pet, managed by a trustee and guided by specific care instructions.
Key elements include funding the trust, naming a guardian and trustee, outlining care instructions, and setting administration rules. The process typically includes drafting, funding, and finalizing the documents with your attorney.
