Who do You Appoint as the Caregiver in Your Pet Trust?

Posted on October 5, 2009 by Danny Meek

The choice of a Caregiver for your pet is always a tough decision in the estate planning process for animals.

The Caregiver is essentially the person that you choose to be the Guardian of your pet when you cannot.


He or she will be responsible for the daily care and decisions made on behalf of your pet.


The issues of diet, exercise, medical treatment and ultimately even death and this individual must make follow-up decisions.


They should be expected to follow your wishes and directives regarding the care of your pet and must be willing to assume the responsibilities associated with caring for your pet.
 

Many times another family member will be appointed as the Caregiver. Nevertheless, you need to discuss the situation completely with them in advance, to make sure that they are will to accept this responsibility.


Tough choice.
