Lifetime Caregiver Program
As dogs have become more and more humanized by their owners, so too have their needs become almost human like. Dog owners refer to their pets, and treat them as “their children”.
If you were to die unexpectedly or if you become unable
to care for your beloved dog, what will happen to them?
It is estimated that more than 500,000 pets are
euthanized at shelters and at veterinarians as a result
of pet owners predeceasing their pets.(1)
This dilemma can be solved with a program that is sound and legally protective of your beloved companion as well as the financial resources that have been left for their long term care.
A dual protective program is put in place whereby City Lickers is designated as the "caregiver" and a separate legal entity is designated as the "guardian" or "trustee".
Florida, and sixteen other states, have adopted a uniform trust code (Stat. Ann. 736.0408(2007). Trust for care of an animal), that provides a Statutory, legal basis for the creation of a Trust for the care of animals.
It protects the funds from claims of heirs and creditors, and has the power and procedures to appoint or remove Trustees who oversee the funds.
It is important to have this "dual protection" system. The Trustee/Guardian will make sure your dog is being properly cared for as a condition of disbursement of funds to the caregiver. The caregiver has no control over the trust funds. This gives incentive and focus to the caregiver for the well being of the dog to insure a long term relationship.
