Time and again, mediation has proved to be the ideal way of resolving a dispute without depleting the estate with the cost of litigation. The forum provided by mediation gives family members the chance to hear and better understand one another even if, where relationships are too fractured or emotional, they choose not to meet on the day.
Our mediators regularly mediate:
claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975
allegations of undue influence and fraud in inter vivos and testamentary dispositions
allegations of invalid procedure or fraud
allegations regarding mental capacity
disputed powers of attorney
negligent drafting of wills
disputes as to the validity of alternative wills or codicils
In addition, our mediators have assisted individuals in settling the terms of their wills in collaboration with family members, thereby mitigating the risk of disputes after death.
