Next of Kin Legislation Webinar: Practical Impacts of Wisconsin's New Next of Kin Legislation

The recently enacted Next of Kin legislation (2025 Wisconsin Act 115) has raised a number of questions for providers, particularly regarding its impact on facility admissions, resident decision-making, and payment for care.

von Briesen attorneys Avery Mayne and Sumeeta Krishnaney will review the key provisions of the law, including the authority and limitations of patient representatives. They will also address potential challenges the legislation may present for long-term care facilities, administrators, residents, and their families.

The discussion will cover how the law may affect the admissions process, access to resident funds for payment of care, and whether it reduces the need for Powers of Attorney or guardianships as intended.
