How do I legally name someone to care for my pets if I die?
You can name a pet guardian in your will by including specific language that designates who will care for your pets and provides instructions for their care. The guardian you choose should agree to take on this responsibility beforehand. You can also set up a pet trust to provide ongoing financial support for your pets' care, which gives your chosen guardian resources to cover veterinary bills, food, and other expenses throughout your pets' lives.
