Trust & Estate Mediation

Your San Diego Trust and Estate Mediation Services

Disputes often arise during trust and estate matters, and they can be difficult to resolve due to the close personal connections between the interested parties. Litigation may be necessary in some cases, but families may wish to avoid going that route for a variety of reasons. In this situation, trust and estate mediation is a useful alternative.

What is Mediation?

In mediation, the parties agree to informal negotiations through a third party, the mediator. Unlike a judge, the mediator does not hand down orders, but takes a more active role in finding common ground and may offer an impartial assessment of the parties' legal positions. The discussions are non-binding, and if no agreement can be reached, then litigation is still an option.

 

The Advantages of Mediation

Mediation is more private and less adversarial than litigation, which is important to many families trying to preserve their relationships. Parties often feel better when they reach a mutually acceptable resolution, rather than having to accept a judge's order. Mediation is also generally more cost effective than litigation.
