A caregiver and family agreement is a written plan that outlines who provides care, what tasks are expected, and how those duties are funded. It helps families align expectations, protect the elder’s preferences, and prevent misunderstandings should circumstances change.
The caregiver can be a family member or a trusted friend who provides regular support. We discuss qualifications and who signs the documents to reflect the arrangement.
Yes, reimbursements or compensation can have tax implications depending on how the arrangement is structured. We advise on compliant setups and coordinate with professionals to ensure benefits and reporting are correct.
Yes, the agreement can be updated as circumstances change. We recommend periodic reviews and signed amendments to keep it current.
The agreement should specify amounts, timing, and methods of payment, plus reimbursements. We help ensure records are clear and compliant with applicable tax rules.

Drafting and review can take a few weeks depending on complexity. We work efficiently to gather information, draft, and finalize with all parties.
Guardianship is needed only in certain scenarios where decisions cannot be made; a durable power of attorney or other options may suffice. We explain options and help assess the best fit for your situation.
Disputes are addressed through the agreement’s resolution process, prioritizing communication. We can assist with mediation and next steps if needed.
