Family Caregiver Legal Roadmap

Ideal For: Adult children or spouses caring for an elderly loved one at home or in a facility. What We’ll Do: Caregiving without proper legal protections can be a financial and emotional minefield. In this session, we’ll clarify what legal documents should already be in place (or need to be updated), how to get compensated as a caregiver (if appropriate), and how to avoid common liability risks. We’ll also touch on coordination with Medicaid, long-term care facilities, and insurance policies. If multiple family members are involved, we’ll help you identify the best structure to avoid future conflict. Common Topics Covered: • Powers of attorney and healthcare directives • Family caregiver agreements and payment structures • Avoiding fiduciary liability • Coordination with Medicaid or VA benefits • Conservatorship risks and prevention • Handling family disagreements over care
