§ 5804.08 Trust for care of animal
(A) A trust may be created to provide for the care of an animal alive
during the settlor's lifetime. The trust terminates upon the death of
the animal or, if the trust was created to provide for the care of more
than one animal alive during the settlor's lifetime, upon the death of
the last surviving animal.
(B) A person appointed in the terms of a trust or, if no person is so
appointed, a person appointed by the court may enforce a trust
authorized by this section. A person having an interest in the welfare
of an animal that is provided care by a trust authorized by this section
may request the court to appoint a person to enforce the trust or to
remove a person appointed.
(C) The property of a trust authorized by this section may be applied
only to its intended use, except to the extent the court determines that
the value of the trust property exceeds the amount required for the
intended use. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the trust,
property not required for the intended use must be distributed to the
settlor if then living or to the settlor's successors in interest.
