A pet trust is a legal technique used to ensure your pet receives proper care after you pass or in the event of your disability.

You can designate the responsibility of your pet to someone along with the instructions for their care. You can also leave the caregiver funds or property to ensure your pet’s continued support and designate a trustee who will deliver the pet to your designated caregiver who may use the property you transferred to the trust to pay for your pet’s expenses.
