(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 trust authorized by this section may be
enforced by a person appointed in the terms of the
trust 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, property not required for
the intended use shall be distributed to the
settlor, if then living, otherwise to the settlor's
successors in interest.
