​A Pet Trust is a legal instrument designed to provide one or more pets with lifetime love and care.  You detail the instructions you want for your pet’s care.  You leave money to provide for their future including food, toys and medical care.  You choose where you want your pet to live and with whom.  Your Pet Trustee makes sure your wishes are carried out on behalf of your loved pet.

​
Today, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have adopted statutory laws that provide for the creation of a trust for the benefit of a domestic pet.  Your pet and not a person is the beneficiary of the Pet Trust.  As a result, your pet has legal rights that can be protected.

No one loves your pet like you do.  You would never intentionally harm your pet.  Yet, more than 500,000 loved pets are euthanized each year because their pet parent didn’t have a plan.  Your pet should never end up in a shelter scared and alone or become a statistic.

Your pets are your children.  Yet, they will never grow up, never hold jobs and will never take care of themselves.  You have to make it your responsibility to plan for your loved pet if something happens to you. Get a Pet Trust today!

More than 50% of Americans haven’t planned for themselves.  That means there are literally millions of pets at risk every day!

If you have a plan for yourself, congratulations!  You are doing better than 50% of Americans who have no estate plan.  Yet, having an estate plan for yourself is just the first step. You can’t leave money to your pet.  If you leave money to a person, they may not take care of your pet.

You have to create a Pet Trust to provide your pet with lifetime love and care.  Today, all 50 states and the District of Columbia recognize Pet Trusts where your pet is the beneficiary entitled to legal protection under the law.

Update your estate plan, including your Pet Trust, every time you have a change in your life, there is a change in the law, or you have a change in your legacy – who you want to benefit from your estate.  Work with professionals who love and care for pets like you do.
