Our digital templates are available nationwide — anyone in the U.S. can purchase and use them. Custom legal services and consultations are only available to residents of North Carolina and Washington, D.C., where we are licensed to practice law.

Once you submit the form, you'll receive a personal email from Gheisha with a link to book your free 30-minute consultation. From there, we'll talk through your situation and figure out the best path forward together.

No preparation is required, but it helps to come with a general sense of your situation — things like how many pets you have, who you'd want to care for them if something happened to you, and whether you have any existing estate planning documents like a will or trust. The more context you can share, the more useful the conversation will be.

That's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll talk through your pets, your family, and your concerns — and figure out the right fit together. You don't need to come in knowing what you want.

No — and the difference matters. A will can name someone to take your pet, but it can't leave money directly to an animal, and it only takes effect after you die. A pet trust does both: it provides funding, detailed care instructions, and legal authority for a caregiver to act on your pet's behalf — during your lifetime if you become incapacitated, and after you pass. A pet trust gives your wishes teeth.

Yes. A pet trust works alongside your existing will — it doesn't replace it. In fact, having both is the most complete approach: your will handles your broader estate, and your pet trust handles your pet's care and funding specifically. You can reference the trust in your will to make sure everything is coordinated.

Yes. Our templates and custom services cover all companion animals — dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, farm animals, and more. If it's a pet you love and want to protect, we can help.

Pet trust laws vary by state, but pet trusts are legally recognized in all 50 states. Our templates include state-specific guidance — links to your state's pet trust laws and notary requirements — so you know exactly what applies where you live. That said, every situation is different, and we always recommend consulting with a licensed attorney in your state if you have questions about your specific circumstances.

The Basic template is designed for one companion animal and covers the essentials: naming a caregiver and trustee, setting care instructions, and allocating funds. The Comprehensive template covers one or multiple animals and goes deeper — primary and backup caregivers, detailed trustee responsibilities, long-term planning for incapacity or death, and more robust funding guidance. If your situation is straightforward and you have one pet, the Basic is a solid starting point. If you have multiple pets or want the most complete coverage available in a template, go Comprehensive.

Templates are instant — you'll receive a download link immediately after purchase. Custom legal services have delivery timelines listed on the Services page, ranging from 1–2 weeks for a Custom Pet Trust to 3–4 weeks for the Complete Protection Package.
