Maryland law allows you to create a pet trust — a legally enforceable arrangement that provides for the care of your animals after you die or become incapacitated. You can name a caretaker, set aside funds for food, veterinary care, and other expenses, and designate a trustee to manage the funds. Without a plan, your pets could end up at a shelter. Whether you have dogs, cats, horses, or other animals, including them in your estate plan is an act of love.
