CHAPTER 44D. UNIFORM TRUST CODE
ARTICLE 4. CREATION, VALIDITY, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF TRUST.
§44D-4-408. Trust for care of animal.
(a) A trust may be created to provide for the care of an animal alive during the grantor'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 grantor's lifetime, upon the death of the last surviving animal.
(b) A trust authorized by this section may be enforced by a person appointed in the terms of 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) 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 instrument, property not required for the intended use must be distributed to the grantor, if then living, otherwise to the grantor's successors in interest.
