You thought mom or dad’s will was clear, all the kids seemed amiable, and as the executor of the estate, things would go smooth. Then, one or more of the siblings began raising questions and concerns. Things started going south, attorneys were hired, and now nobody is speaking to each other except through an attorney. Before all the attorneys get hired, call in a mediator to help all parties be heard, sort out issues, problem solve, and reach a peaceful resolution. Even if attorneys are in process, a mediator can still be quite helpful to resolve the conflict outside of court. Even the best families can find themselves conflicted over an estate.
Dr. Kinnison has first hand experience in estate disputes. At the death of his stepmother, several of her children disputed over some personal belongings leading to a estranged relationship for several years. One session with a mediator might have averted such conflict and strain on the relationship.
We interview the family members to determine the central issues of the dispute. In some instances, only two family members may need mediation to resolve the dispute. Other times, a series of mediation sessions between various family members will be conducted for resolution. Most disputes are resolved within one to three sessions.
You may either come into one of our offices for mediation, or, if you prefer, we can come into the family home. The location must be deemed neutral for both parties. To begin the process, simply call for a FREE phone consultation.
