> Put it in a trust that is administered by a 3rd party.
We have a friend who has no heirs and after his parents died recently he
made sure his will was in order. He mentioned to my husband in an offhand
way, "Oh by the way, I willed you Cass and enough money to take care of
her". Well...that's nice. I'm sure he willed her to Bill since he knows I
never really cared for the old biddy. >eg< Actually, I take care of her
now. He buys the feed but I take it to her every day. Heck, I even put my
good winter blanket on her when they called for an ice storm and she had
no shelter...and yes, she did threaten to bite me.

Having to take care of her, should something happen to her owner might
not be exactly something I'd have signed up to do, but I would do it. I
sure wouldn't want the hassel of having to deal with a third party
though..."Here's the receipts, will you reimburse me for this trimming
and the hay...oh, you want to inspect the hay?" :-P Seems the third party
could just as easily embezzle the money and leave me taking care of the
horse out of my own pocket. I'd just say you really should know the
person *well*. You can tell a tree by its fruit. Look at how that person
conducts themselves in all areas of their life. Character is pretty easy
to observe. Hmmm, maybe *that's* why he chose Bill. >g<

Angie (who has had no fewer than 5 people tell me they were leaving me
their horses...but two were going to include the trailers! :-)
