How It Works
Trust Purpose
The trust guarantees food, shelter, veterinary care, and comfort for your pets throughout their lives. New pets can also be added to ensure every companion is covered.
Appointment of Trustee
A trustee you choose manages funds, oversees caregivers, and ensures your wishes are carried out. Successor trustees step in if needed for seamless continuity.
Trust Assets
The trust is funded with money, property, or insurance benefits specifically reserved for your pets. Additional contributions can be added anytime for long-term support.
Caregiver Provisions
You select trusted caregivers, outline their duties, and provide compensation. Caregivers are vetted and monitored by the trustee to ensure high-quality care.
Trustee Duties & Powers
Trustees must act in good faith: disbursing funds, investing wisely, and protecting your pets. A Trust Protector may be appointed to oversee administration.
Distribution of Remaining Assets
When your pets pass, any remaining assets go where you decide—whether to charities, family, or remainder beneficiaries you select.
Duration & Closure
The trust lasts for your pets’ entire lives, with a short extension if needed to finalize affairs. This ensures proper closure without legal complications.
