A Matter of Trust: The Challenges of Mediating Inheritance Disputes
It is not just the intensity of emotions that challenges the mediator in inheritance disputes! Challenges also arise from:
- the range of interests that need to be considered, including some that might not be represented at the mediation,
- trying to clarify what the real issues and sources of dispute,
- meeting (or ignoring) Probate Code and Tax Code structures,
- ethical dilemmas posed by attorney-client and multi-party tensions.
By discussing these and other challenges, the speaker will also elicit ideas for overcoming them, before, during, and after the mediation session.
