Pets are generally treated as property under the law. Without written instructions and set-aside funds, a pet passes to whoever receives the rest of your property — and care decisions get made on the spot, with money you intended for your pet free to go elsewhere. A pet trust organized under O.C.G.A. § 53-12-28 names who is in charge, records your instructions, and sets aside funds for care. This is general information, not legal advice.
The short answer for Georgia: pet trusts are legal in Georgia under O.C.G.A. § 53-12-28. A Georgia pet trust lets you name a caregiver and a trustee, set aside funds that may only be spent on your pet’s care, and leave instructions the statute makes enforceable — so your pet is protected by law, not by hope.
