What is elder law
mediation?
Elder
law mediation offers an out-of-court tool for settling family disputes related
to senior family members. Family
disputes related to aging family members might be related to long-term care and
guardianship, financial matters and other issues with the family estate, and
plans for retirement, benefits, and medical care. Mediation provides a non-confrontational way
by which to settle these disputes.
Because
there are many issues involved in elder law, both practical and emotional, it
is often better to resolve conflicts within the family. Elder law mediation is private and keeps the
decision-making control in the hands of the family members. Mediation is also less expensive and
time-consuming than litigation, and makes it easier to preserve family
relationships in the long run. Elder law
mediators work with family members to reach a mutually agreed upon resolution
that is in the best interest of everyone involved, especially the elderly
family member.
