A Pet Trust is an easy way to ensure that your pet will have a permanent caregiver, and to provide the financial resources to care for your pet if they were to outlive you. You can also assign a Trustee and Protector to ensure your wishes are followed. This ensures that your pet will be protected and won’t be sent to a shelter if you pass away before they do. We understand that planning your estate and creating your Pet Trust can seem like a difficult process, but with Gentreo it is easy and affordable. To help guide you through the process even further, we have provided you with a step-by-step guide to help assist you through everything.
