Why do I need a Pets Trust?
| |
If you become disabled or die and no Pets Trust is available, life-changing decisions about your pet will be made very quickly. EMS technicians are trained to alert the local pound immediately if they find a pet in the home of an emergency victim. Older, less attractive pets are often euthanized within days – over 3,000,000 pets are euthanized every year. In this situation, only a Pets Trust is sure to save your pet's life. |

How does the Pets Trust work?
| |
If death or disability prevent you from providing a proper home for your pet, your chosen Trustee will transfer your Pet to your chosen Pet Caregiver and, if funds are available in your Trust, will draw from these to pay for your pet's care. |
Can I add Special Instructions for my pet's care?
| |
Yes. For each pet, your Trust document can include your instructions regarding your pet's needs and preferences for care, food, exercise, medications and even pet burial or cremation. |
Can I add photos?
| |
Yes. If you're not around, it will be useful for identification purposes if your documents carry a photo of your pet. |
How much is the Pets Trust Pack?
- Regular Service - All documents ready to print $89.95
- Premier Service - All documents printed and sent by Priority Mail $129.95
How does the price compare with the cost of attorney fees?
| |
Lawyers' costs for drawing up trust documents normally vary between $1000 to $2000, but you should be aware that most estate planning attorneys do not offer a Pets Trust solution. |
