Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Expense responsibility
Our brother is the Executor of our parents' will. Their last, living pet lives with my sister, not by her choice. Is the Estate responsible for vet bills, expenses, etc. in California?

Re: Expense responsibility
It depends on the terms of the trust. We actually provide a 'pet trust' service for people in this situation. In your situation, most likely, the trust is not responsible, but your sister is not responsible for taking care of them either.
Best bet, talk to your brother about the situation, see what his response is and please, feel free to contact me directly once you have a response (at the email provided by LawGuru or through our firm's site at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com) and we can discuss your sister's further options at that point.
