Pet Trust
Planning for the Animals We Love
This category is emotional, approachable, highly shareable, and surprisingly relatable. People immediately connect to it.
A Pet Trust is a trust designed to provide financial support and care instructions for pets after the owner’s death or incapacity.
- ensure continued care
- provide funding
- appoint caregivers
- create clear instructions for beloved animals
“You can just leave money to the pet.”
Legally, animals cannot directly inherit assets. A trust creates a structured care arrangement instead.
- Pet owners
- Aging individuals
- Single individuals
- Families with multiple animals
- Animal lovers deeply connected to companion care
A Pet Trust reflects something simple and deeply human: love extends beyond people.

Schedule a Complimentary 30-Minute Consultation
At Hurwitz.Law, we believe that thoughtful planning begins with a meaningful conversation.
We offer a private, 30-minute consultation—by phone or Zoom—for individuals and families considering estate planning, elder law, or trust administration services. This conversation allows us to understand your goals, answer your questions, and help determine whether our firm is the right fit for your needs.
Our firm is intentionally boutique. We work with a limited number of clients so that we can provide a high level of personal attention and care. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.
This consultation is not a sales pitch. It’s a conversation rooted in clarity, respect, and the belief that your time—and your legacy—deserve both.
