Estate mediation is a collaborative process designed to resolve disputes related to wills, trusts, and inheritance matters without resorting to costly and time-consuming litigation. It involves a neutral third party, the mediator, who facilitates discussions between conflicting parties to reach mutually agreeable solutions. This approach allows family members and beneficiaries to work together in a less adversarial environment, preserving relationships and often resulting in more satisfactory outcomes for all involved. Estate mediation can address various issues, including asset distribution, interpretation of will provisions, and concerns about executor actions. By choosing mediation, parties maintain control over the decision-making process and can explore creative solutions that may not be available in court. At Ott Law Firm, we understand the complexities of estate disputes and are committed to guiding clients through the mediation process with compassion and skill.
