Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Rhode Island

Re: Caregiver compensation from Estate

Under some circumstances if may be possible for

compensation for such services. A mere request to the

Executor of the estate may be sufficient. However,

if the amount requested is considered excessive by

the executor or the family, it may be necessary to

have testimony as to what services were performed, for

how long, whether the decedent made a promise to pay, et.

In short, more information is necessary to determine

whether a claim should be made. You should contact

an attorney and provide as many details as possible.

If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to
