Trust for Animal Care

In July 2006 a new law took effect in Virginia that allows pet owners to set up trusts to set aside wealth for the care and welfare of their pets after their demise. The pet owner would write a trust instrument that says that in the event of his/her death, a portion of their estate would be placed in trust. A designated person is named as trustee and is authorized to use the money to care for the pet(s) for the rest of their lives.

Mr. Simbole, as an animal lover and pet owner with years of experience in writing trusts and caring for the elderly and their pets, is uniquely qualified to set up this new trust.
