Semmelman & Semmelman, Ltd.

MEDIATION AS AN OPTION FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES IN PROBATE COURT:

Advantages:

* The parties are the decision makers rather than having a judge decide the outcome.

* The parties discuss their personal interests and concerns rather than having the law dictate them.

* All parties are winners because everyone agrees on the outcome, rather than having a judge decide the winner and loser.

* The parties preserve family or business relationships as they work together toward the agreement.

* The parties will spend less towards an amicable agreement that would cost far more to be heard in court with a judge.
