It is widely accepted that mediation is a viable and even exceptional alternative to the litigation process when you are embroiled in a dispute with family. This is because, for better or for worse, this is your family and there may be a need or a desire for an ongoing relationship into the future. Litigation may drive the family further apart while through mediation the family will come together, at one table, for an open discussion of the dispute and a mutual search for possible avenues of resolution. Such family disputes can arise with regards to gifts made from a parent to one child and not the other and allegations of undue influence, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by one child who is serving as power of attorney for an aging parent or disputes over the best care for an aging parent. These are just a few examples of the myriad of family disputes which can and often do arise. In the spirit of keeping the family together, many individuals choose mediation rather than resorting to litigation in order to resolve such disputes. We at SerraWeiss are able to mediate such disputes in a non-judgmental forum where the individuals will be able to address their issues, including perhaps underlying issues within the family, towards the ultimate purpose of arriving at a reasonable resolution while maintaining the family in tact.
