PROTECT YOUR PET WHILE HELPING ANIMALS IN NEED

If your beloved pet outlives you, Trusted Pet Partners ensures they will be cared for with an easy‐to use online pet trust creation that donates a share of their profits to animal charities

Each year, roughly half a million pets end up in shelters – or worse – because their owners pass away or are no longer able to care for them. Don’t let this happen to your beloved animal companion. Trusted Pet Partners offers a simple way to protect your pets and ensure their comfort and safety in case you are unable to care for them through the creation of a legally‐binding pet trust. The entire process takes about 15-minutes and is done online through the company’s newly redesigned Web site: www.TrustedPetPartners.com

Because of the founder’s strong commitment to the safety and well‐being of all animals, Trusted

Pet Partners also donates up to 25% of its Pet Trust fee to non‐profit organizations supporting

animals.

“You wouldn’t leave your child or family unprotected in the event that something terrible

happened to you,” says Christopher Jones, co‐founder of Trusted Pet Partners. “Your pets are

part of the family, too. We as pet owners have a responsibility to make sure our loved ones are

taken care of in case of an accident or a health‐related catastrophe.”

Typical trust attorney fees run between $300 to 500 per hour. But for a one‐time fee of just $289,

Trusted Pet Partners can assist you in establishing a trust for up to five of your animal companions with easy‐to-use online forms that allow for unlimited updates to accommodate changes in your pet’s needs and situation.

California is one of the 42 states in which pet trusts are valid, and while arrangements can be made for a pet in your will, that will only address their care if you die, not if you become disabled. Pets can also be included in a family trust, but according to the legal experts at Trusted Pet Partners, it’s better to have a stand‐alone document that can easily be updated to best suit your pet’s needs.

Many companion animals have life expectancies that can easily exceed our time with them –

Parrots can live up to 60 years, reptiles can live for decades, even many dogs and cats are living 15-years or longer.

“You may think that a pet trust is an unnecessary expense,” says Jones, an expert in the field of estate planning with more than 40-years of legal experience. “The truth is, accidents happen. People get sick. A pet trust is the best way to protect the animals you love when you no longer can.”
