Yes, 18:02 that is exactly why you need to thing about a clause in your will.

I doubt OP is joking. An attorney in my firm recently did a will for a very wealthy person. I kid you not, she set aside 500K for care of each of her dogs (3 of them) upon her death.
Omg whaaaat. What is a doing going to do with 500 (...or even 5) k??
Not a pet owner I see.
$5K is one bad night at the vet. I spent almost $10k for surgery on my cat with chronic urinary tract issues, and approaching $2K this summer alone on vet bills for my dog.
I'm probably a bit unluckier than most, but it's certainly not uncommon.
I don't want to admit what I've spent on a rabbit and a guinea pig....

OP here. Trust would be to fund the pet's expenses for the remainder of its life. Small dollars here.
