Pet Trusts in Colorado: How to Legally Protect Your Pet in Your Estate Plan

If you’re a Millennial, there’s a decent chance you don’t have kids yet. But you do have a dog. Let’s be honest though: even if you do have kids, your pup will always be the first baby of the house. Unfortunately, pets are considered tangible, personal property under Colorado law. This means that, without proper planning, their future care can be uncertain, and, in some cases, your pets could be placed at a shelter if a loved one is unable to care for or support your animal on a long-term basis. A pet trust in Colorado is one of the most effective ways to prevent this from happening and ensure your animal is cared for exactly the way you intended if you were to die or become incapacitated.
