June is recognized by many in the animal rights community as National Pet Preparedness Month. In a day and age where pets are considered family members by many people who own them, it makes sense to plan for them in that way.
Landmark legislation throughout the United States recognizes the fundamental rights of owners and their pets by enabling them to establish trusts to ensure the proper care of their animals if they are no longer able to do so themselves.
Establishing a Trust for your pet guarantees the rights of your beloved animals be protected under the law, through legally enforceable arrangements under which they will receive proper care. These agreements can be drafted not only to protect your current pets, but any that you plan on adopting, meaning that it is never too early to start planning.
Arranging for the future care of your companion animals could simply involve a bequest in a will of your family pets to a trusted family member, friend or rescue, or even going as far as to place your house in a trust with directives for a caretaker to live in your home and care for your animals during their lifetimes.
The Center for Animal Litigation knows that nobody will care for your pets like you do, but there are cost-effective means to help make certain your animals always receive the protections you care about, and they so deserve.
