Why elect mediation in an estate dispute?
Estate mediation is mandatory in many kinds of estate disputes. Call mediator Charles Ticker to schedule a mediation at: 1-866-677-7746
The purpose of estate mediation is to allow the parties involved in the dispute the opportunity to settle the matter before significant legal costs are incurred. An independent third party mediator will likely be present to facilitate dialogue and to assist the parties in reaching a practical resolution to the dispute in question. In many parts of Ontario such as Toronto, Ottawa, Windsor, and the County of Essex estate mediation is mandatory for many types of estate disputes such as executor disputes, passing of accounts, will challenges, and dependant support claims.
Estate mediation is an important part of the estate litigation process in Ontario. Most lawsuits in Ontario settle well in advance of trial. Many people believe that appearing in Court and having a verdict from a Judge is the desired outcome when a lawsuit is commenced. However, the fact is that the estate litigation process can be very lengthy and expensive. It can take many years of emotional and financial costs to litigate a matter all the way to trial.
Most estate disputes can be resolved well in advance of trial as long as the parties involved are willing to be reasonable. Even if you believe that you should take your case all the way to trial, there are many situations where estate mediation provides a more cost-efficient solution to your dispute. Hiring an experienced mediator is vital to your success.
