Inheritance Mediation Services - Inheritance Dispute Services

Inheritance Mediaition Services

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.
