I suspect the attorney is thinking ahead. He/she doesn't want to get blamed if a caregiver contract is drafted and your sibling objects.
However, I don't see that it your's siblings business at all if he/she isn't providing help. Or unless your sibling is co- or successor proxy.
But if he/she does decide to help, he/she might be entitled to compensation as well. That might also be a concern of the attorney.
However, I agree with RainMom and Igloo. I have a feeling there are tense or harsh relations between the two of you and your being paid would be a potentially explosive issue, and the attorney doesn't want to get caught inbetween. And that's a legitimate concern.

More details will be helpful.
