     § 7738.  Trust for care of animal - UTC 408.
        (a)  Creation and termination.--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)  Enforcement.--A trust authorized by this section may be
     enforced by a person appointed in the trust instrument or, if no
     person is so appointed, by a person appointed by the court. A
     person having an interest in the welfare of the animal may
     request the court to appoint a person to enforce the trust or to
     remove a person appointed.
        (c)  Limitation.--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 trust instrument, property not
     required for the intended use must be distributed to the settlor
     if then living, otherwise to the settlor's successors in
     interest.
