Pet Trusts

Written By Kevin McKernan

A pet trust is a legally enforceable arrangement that provides for the ongoing care and financial support of a pet following the owner's death or incapacitation. A pet trust ensures that the designated funds are used exclusively for the animal's benefit and according to the owner's instructions. 

A well-structured pet trust typically includes:

  • A trustee

  • A designated caregiver

  • Detailed care instructions

  • Adequate funding to cover food, veterinary bills, grooming, and other necessities
