PetTrust.io has published a public reference table listing the pet trust statute citation for every U.S. state — from Alabama’s § 19-3B-408 to Wyoming’s § 4-10-409 — at pettrust.io/pet-trust-statutes.html.
Every U.S. state and the District of Columbia has enacted a pet trust statute, but the statutes differ in who may enforce the trust, how long it can last, and what happens to leftover funds. Some states appoint an enforcer; others create roles such as an Animal Trust Protector (Illinois, Vermont), an Animal Protector (Wisconsin), or a Trust Protector (Tennessee, Wyoming), and Washington’s chapter extends enforcement rights to the person who has custody of the animal.
Unlike general legal directories, the citations in the reference were verified against the operative documents PetTrust.io generates for each state — the statute listed for each state is the one its instrument is actually drafted to.
The reference links each state to a plain-English guide and a guided questionnaire that produces a state-specific pet trust packet. The company also publishes companion guides covering how to set up a pet trust, what a pet trust is, and species-specific considerations for dogs, cats, horses, birds, and exotic animals.
