According to the Washington University School of Law, between 12% - 27% of pet owners provide provisions for their pets in their wills so they will be taken care of when they die.

Pet trusts has become so popular that 39 US states have statutes outlining them. Animals can't directly own financial assets, but through pet trusts established by their owners.

A trustee is assigned and he/she decides when money from the trust is spent and how much is spent from the fund.

A primary caretaker requests funds that are needed from the trustee, and uses the funds for the animals well being. He/she is directly responsible for the animals well being.

While an enforcer, either named in the owner's will, or appoint by a court is responsible for ensuring that the money is well managed and solely used for the upkeep of the animal.
