Total Credits: 1.2 Self Study
Originally presented on: November 1, 2019
Trust and estate disputes among family members – children against parents, siblings against siblings, generation against generation – can be among the most bitter, protracted and costly, because they involve not only money but emotion. Litigation can be ruinous because client decision-making may be made as much on basis of spite as reason, leading to very lengthy litigation that may rapidly deplete the assets that are the basis of the litigation. Mediation is a possible solution to expediate dispute resolution and preserve assets, but it comes with its own tradeoffs and challenges. This program will provide you a practical guide to mediation in trust and estate disputes.
