Rhode Island Provision of Agreement to Devise or Bequeath Property to Person Performing Personal Services allows individuals to include specific provisions in their will, outlining arrangements to transfer their property to a person who has provided personal services, such as caregiving or assistance, to the testator (person making the will) during their lifetime. This agreement ensures that the person performing these services is duly recognized and rewarded for their dedication and efforts. In Rhode Island, there are various types of Provision of Agreements to Devise or Bequeath Property to Person Performing Personal Services, including: 1. Caregiver Provision: This agreement defines the terms under which a caregiver, who has rendered significant personal services to the testator, will receive property or assets upon the testator's death. It outlines the caregiver's responsibilities, the duration of services provided, and the value of property that will be transferred. 2. Personal Assistant Provision: In this type of agreement, a personal assistant who has assisted the testator with day-to-day tasks, such as managing finances, scheduling appointments, or providing transportation, is named as a beneficiary to receive property or assets upon the testator's death. The agreement specifies the nature and extent of the personal assistant's duties and the scope of property or assets they may receive as compensation. 3. Home Healthcare Provider Provision: This provision applies to individuals who have received in-home healthcare services. It ensures that the home healthcare provider, who has assisted the testator with medical care or other support services, receives a portion of the testator's property or assets upon their passing. The agreement highlights the duration and nature of the healthcare services provided and outlines the property to be transferred in return. 4. Non-Family Caregiver Provision: In cases where the caregiver is not a family member, this agreement serves to establish the testator's intention to reward the non-family caregiver with property or assets for their dedicated services. It is important to note that these agreements should be prepared with the assistance of legal professionals to ensure compliance with Rhode Island state laws and to accurately reflect the wishes of the testator. Additionally, individuals should regularly review and update these agreements to reflect any changes in personal circumstances or arrangements with the service provider.
