What happens to your pets when you're gone? In this episode of Trust Me, It's Complicated, attorney John Marshall breaks down the often-overlooked world of Pet Trusts — and why every animal lover needs one. From dogs and cats to horses and betta fish, Florida Statute section 736.0408 makes it possible to ensure your pets are cared for with the same love and attention you'd provide yourself.

John walks through the three essential roles in any Pet Trust — caretaker, trustee, and enforcer — and explains why the money should always follow the pet.

Plus, hear the real-life story that says it all: an elderly widower who thought he'd never own another dog — until Pet Trusts changed everything. If you love your pets, this episode is for you.
