So, why do people use mediation? People use mediation for many reasons, but one important reason is that the litigation of wills, trusts, and estates or family businesses can be very expensive and time consuming. Costs can range dramatically, from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Families decide to use mediation to help avoid the lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive litigation process.
Mediation is a non-binding attempt to obtain agreement from all parties before going to arbitration. As for who should be the mediator, it is crucial to use someone that is trained in the art and science of mediation. Mediation is a delicate process, so make sure to use a mediator that is intelligent, savvy and experienced.
