Significant issues with a parent and grandparent's Will, or lack there of, will often ariseonly after the death of our loved ones. Money can easily tear a family apart and tends to leave the estate with little money and large legal bills on both sides of the isle. Mediation can bring the parties together, with or without attorneys, to focus on salvaging the family unit and resolving the underlying issues.

Parents and their adult children often fall into conflicts as potentially failing memories and control issues arise. Most of these conflicts are initially created by one party attempting to make positive, but sometimes overreaching decisions for the other party. Mediation can bring parents and their adult children together again to solve issues such as Wills, Living Wills, Healthcare Issues, Housing Issues, Short-Term Care Issues, Long-Term Care Issues, and More. Again, the mediator will help the parties focus on the family unit and the strong bond that underlies such a relationship.

Mediation is perfect to solve problems and resolve disputes in construction issues, contract disputes, small and large monetary claims, and equity claims. Any case that is already in the courts and scheduled for court assisted arbitration, is ripe to to be mediated. Even larger cases that are not eligible for court assisted arbitration are also great candidates for a quick and effective resolution at mediation.

Even complex and emotional issues are better served in mediation as both sides can come to an amicable resolution that can often solve underlying issues and allow both parties have closure. In many cases a lengthy litigation only causes more tension and angst between the parties and can lead to further litigation or appeals. Mediation often solves the entire issue one or two combined sessions; with almost no risk of appeals or further litigation.
