Keep Your Pets From An Uncertain Fate With A Pet Trust

If you've ever searched for a rescue pet, you probably have seen sad stories about how a pet’s owner passed away or became disabled. Now, that pet faces an uncertain future — perhaps even euthanasia. However, pet trusts give you a way to include your pets in your estate planning. Having an estate planning lawyer with experience in drafting pet trusts is essential in providing your pets with the care they need. Our estate attorneys have that experience — and love pets as much as you do. Get the peace of mind you — and your pets — deserve. Get in touch with one of our estate lawyers!

What Does a Pet Trust Involve?

Like a trust you put in place for your dependents, a pet trust states the provisions you want to put into place if you become disabled or pass away. We can structure a revocable trust — one that you can amend any time when you need changes. So long as you can care for your pets, you’ll be the sole trustee. But, if you should die or become disabled before your pet passes, the plan you created will go into effect, and the secondary trustee you’ve appointed will take over your pets’ care. So, don’t wait to protect your pets when there’s an easy solution. Book a consultation with one of our pet trust attorneys today!

Can I Add a Power of Attorney for My Pets to My Estate Plan?

Yes, you can. If you travel a lot without your pets, we recommend that you designate someone as your power of attorney for pet care. We can help you appoint a trusted individual to arrange care for your pets while you’re out of town. Some travelers end up staying longer than they intended. Whether it’s a pandemic that halts travel or other issues that hold up your return, it pays to have someone who can pick up your pets and arrange care for them until your return. And, if your pet becomes ill while you’re away, the person that you’ve named in your power of attorney can authorize veterinary treatment. Make sure your pets have the care they need no matter what.
