Q.What states allow a trust for a pet?
A.Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Utah allow pets to be named as beneficiaries of a trust and provide for enforcement of the trust by someone acting on the pet's behalf.
California, Missouri, and Tennessee recognize trusts for pets as valid but do not provide for their enforcement if the trustee decides not to implement them. California is presently re-examining its legislation.
