I also agree that a person can do whatever they like - it's their money, their estate. Being a family "member" does not equate with actually *being* family - there can be a gulf of difference btwn those two things.
Pet trusts are often set up to support the dog until it passes - the amount doesn't often matter bc the trust is set-up to then go to charity or another person after the dog passes. This is very common. We have a Pet Trust for our boys if we both die - and the remainder of the trust (after the dogs pass) will go to the caretaker's (my in-laws, right now) local humane assn. Since we don't have kids, our main concern if we both pass is our fur babies. |
I agree, My uncle has no children and he has set up a trust fund for his dog so she will be taken care of after he dies. It was her money and she should be able to do what she wants with it.
