What would happen if you passed away, or got too sick to take care of your pet? Too often, pets in this situation end up in shelters or, worse, on the street. That’s why pet planning is so important.

What is Pet Planning?

Pet planning is an extension of estate planning. It’s making sure your pet is cared for and provided for in case you can no longer be there. When it comes to pet planning, there are a number of options. For instance, you can use your will to name a caregiver for your pet (some people call this a “pet will”), or you can set up a pet trust.

What is a Pet Trust?

A pet trust is a pet planning legal document that allows you to provide instructions for the care and support of your pet. With a pet trust, you can not only provide for your pet after your death, but also in the event of your disability.

Why Use a Pet Trust?

So why establish a pet trust rather than simply using your Will to leave money to your pet? Because pets are considered property, and they can’t inherit money directly, meaning that this particular type of “pet will” doesn’t work. Someone needs to manage money for your pet and provide for its needs. This is where pet planning, and, more specifically, a pet trust, comes in.
