Pet Trust

Pet Trusts are a modern legal solution designed to ensure the ongoing care and well-being of your beloved companion animals in the event of your incapacity or passing.

To many individuals across the United Kingdom, pets are cherished members of the family, providing companionship, emotional support, and unconditional love.

Recognising the deep bond between pet owners and their animals, it's natural to want to plan for their care in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

A Pet Trust enables you to designate a grantor to fund the trust, a trustee to manage finances, and a caretaker to oversee your pet's daily needs. By carefully outlining instructions within the trust document, you can ensure that your pet's needs are met, as well as provide compensation for the caregiver and trustee.

A pet trust allows you to specify instructions regarding the care of your pet. The most commonly included details are:

• Identification of the pet
• Food and diet instructions
• Grooming instructions
• Veterinary care instructions
• Compensation for the caregiver and trustee
• How the caregiver must document expenses
• How the trustee is to monitor the caregiver’s services
• Whether the trust will cover liabilities should the pet bite or injure someone or damage property
• Final burial or cremation instructions

If a Pet Trust doesn't align with your preferences, our team can explore alternative options, such as designating funds to a trusted individual for your pet's care or bequeathing your pet to a chosen caregiver along with financial provisions.

With our compassionate and experienced guidance, you can gain peace of mind knowing that your beloved pets will be cared for according to your wishes, even when you're no longer able to do so yourself.
