Every parent hopes that after they pass that their children and
grandchildren will remain close and provide love and support for one another. Estate
battles and inheritance disputes can threaten this dream. Wills and proper planning help avoid
inheritance conflicts and arguments over estates. The best time for families to work out such
issues is before these battles become a reality. Elder Mediation and
Inheritance Mediation Services can provide a safe setting for these highly contentious
situations.
Everyone acknowledges that contested wills are among the most dreaded of
court battles and they can go on for years often draining the inheritance and
estate that are under dispute. Yet, adult siblings often have strong feelings
about how their parents ought to bequeath their estate and these feelings are
often in conflict with some or all of their siblings. A daughter who has been
the primary caregiver for her father may feel that he should recognize her
efforts in his will. A son who has had financial or medical setbacks may want
some extra security beyond that provided for his wealthier siblings. In
families where parents have contributed to the costs of some of their
children's or grandchildren's education, home purchases, or weddings other
family members may feel that they should be "made whole' in some way.
While one or both parents are still living, they may be burdened with the awful
challenge of figuring out how to create a fair estate plan that honors all
family members and indicates their equal love for each one of their heirs. This
is no easy task, especially when parents are subjected to lobbying efforts by
some of their adult children or grandchildren. Elder and inheritance mediation
services can help navigate these difficult family matters.
