Wills and Contentious Probate Disputes
Resolving Inheritance Disputes
We offer mediation services to individuals and administrators or personal representatives of estates.
Losing a relative is always incredibly upsetting and the grief can be hard to deal with.
The last thing that anyone wants is to get involved in a dispute about a loved one’s estate. Sometimes a dispute is unavoidable, if people feel unfairly treated.
Such disputes can be long drawn out and costly as well as emotionally painful.
Mediation is a good way to resolve disputes of this nature.
