A caregiver and family agreement is a written plan that spells out who will provide care, what tasks will be performed, when, and at what pay. This helps everyone understand their roles and responsibilities. It also serves as a reference point if plans change over time.
You do not always need a lawyer to draft a basic agreement, but having a professional review or tailor it helps ensure it fits Wisconsin law and your family’s unique needs. A professional can also address power of attorney and guardianship options as appropriate.
Typically, the agreement will cover payment terms, tasks, schedules, and dispute resolution. We can include adjustments to duties or compensation as circumstances change and care needs evolve.
Yes, you can include provisions about powers of attorney or guardianship as part of the overall plan. These instruments serve different purposes and should be coordinated for consistency.

Review the document at least annually or after major life events. Updates are helpful when care needs or family roles change.
If a caregiver can no longer provide care, the agreement should spell out steps for transition, notice, and new arrangements. Plans for substitute caregivers and communication with doctors help maintain continuity of care.
In Wisconsin, caregiver agreements are generally enforceable if they reflect genuine intent, clear terms, and proper consideration. We can help ensure the document meets legal standards.
