Honorary Trusts
•    Thompson:
•    For furthering of fox hinting
•    Not private trust because no beneficiary
•    Not charitable – usually benefit for animals is OK, but judge doesn’t see this as for benefit of animals
•    Court says its ok, but if don’t use for estate’s stated purpose the money comes back as resulting reversion trust to heirs
•    Typical:
•    Erection of tombs, saying of masses, benefit of specific animals (pets)
•    Leave to someone wiling to perform then court will recognize but must be SPECIFIC
-    Purpose can’t be capricious, overly general, or go forever (not charitable so implicates RAP)
•    UPC recognizes these – 2-907b – real trusts for pets are valid
•    Texas says NO – to accomplish in Texas, leave specific bequest of pet to X with general money bequest to care for it
