Oprah Winfrey will leave trust fund to her dogs

Oprah Winfrey is well known for her love of dogs. I have never wanted to be a dog so much in my life!
One way in which Oprah is caring for her pups is by putting a dog trust fund in place so they’ll be cared for according to her wishes after she dies. The billionaire has ensured that they’ll be well looked after for the rest of their own lives by putting aside enough money for them to live how she’d like them to.
Oprah Winfrey has had 21 dogs over the years, including the current springer spaniel Lauren and cocker spaniel Sadie, and is reportedly leaving $30 million to her dogs in a trust fund.
“The funds cover veterinary bills, gourmet chow, grooming and an allowance to a named caregiver,” he explains. “The trust also has a contingency provision in the event the caregiver becomes incapacitated to perform their duties to ensure the continued health of the dogs. Her pets otherwise might have been in limbo.”
A dog trust fund will also address what happens when your pet dies – for example, whether you’d like them to be buried or cremated, and how you’d like any remaining funds to be used. Often, people choose beneficiaries like animal shelters or charities.
While we often associate dog trust funds with the super rich, you don’t need to be Oprah to set up a dog trust fund. Anybody with a pet can set one up to help prepare for the future.
