Overview

In this course we discuss the use of mediation in the estate planning arena, and the use of mediation in the resolution of disputes involving wills, trusts and related estate disputes. Here we argue that estate planning should be modernized, and viewed more as a collaborative process involving planning attorneys, financial advisors, insurance professionals, and mediators. In taking this approach we may better serve the wishes of the testator, and foster better family relationships of the beneficiaries. Also the traditional way to address an estate dispute is to lawyer-up and file a lawsuit, and it is common to see families being torn apart in this process. Surely this is not what the decedent would have wanted to happen. Here we argue that there must be a better way, and propose a new family centric approach to resolving issues involving estate disputes. Join us in this journey.

This is a quick thank you for the efforts you put in to your meditation seminars. Having been an attorney for over 30 years and a mediator for over 10, I have certainly participated in my fair share of continuing education. Yours is among the most informative, competent, and rewarding seminar(s) I have experienced.
