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.
