What Is a Pet Trust?
A pet trust is a legal arrangement that ensures your pet's care is funded and managed according to your wishes. Whether you have a playful pup, a curious cat, or an exotic pet, a pet trust provides peace of mind that your beloved companion will always be cared for.
Key Benefits of a Pet Trust:
- Guaranteed Care: Ensures your pet receives the care they deserve, even if you’re no longer able to provide it.
- Financial Security: Allocates funds for food, medical expenses, and other necessities.
- Clear Instructions: Outlines specific care instructions, from dietary needs to daily routines.
