Pet Owners Could Leave Money to Their Animals Through Trusts

Trusts granted to animals could only be overturned by a court ruling, relatively rare in estate cases.
It gives you a way to make sure that the four-legged and feathered members of your family are provided for when you’re not there to do it, says M L Smith, a pet owner who supported the bill.
