A Trust for Your Pets
By Matt Sullivan, J.D., LL.M.
Attorney & Counselor at Law
When preparing their
estate plan most people
make provisions for their
surviving children. They
often create trusts to hold
property for the benefit
of those children. Many
of those same people are
pet owners who consider
their “four legged
children” to be a part of
the family. What about
creating a trust to benefit
the pets of an owner who
has become disabled or
died? Can such a trust
be created? The answer
is... Yes!
Allowing pet owners
to create a trust for their
pets can be extremely
important. According
to a recent survey
conducted by the
American Pet Products
Association, there are
almost 80 million owned
dogs in the United States
and 39% of US families
own at least one dog.
The survey also reveals
that there are close to 90
million owned cats in the
United States and 33%
of all US families own at
least one feline.
It wasn’t always
possible to create an
enforceable trust to
benefit an animal. Such
an arrangement was
known as an “honorary
trust” and depended on
the honor of the trustee to
carry out and follow the
wishes and instructions
of the pet’s owner.
In 2006, however,
Texas enacted a statute
titled “Trust for Care of
Animal.” This law allows
for the creation of a trust
that may be enforced by
court order.
People who don’t own
pets may not understand
the desire of a pet owner
to insure the well-being of
an animal. Pets provide
great companionship
and ask for very little
in return. They never
“talk back” and will
never elope to Las Vegas
to marry someone you
wouldn’t like.
