Elder and Family Mediation

I am trained in Elder and Family Mediation and can provide a forum for family discussions about Estate Planning, Guardianship, Wills and other potential sources of conflict. Differing views are heard with dignity and respect to facilitate the decision-makingĀ  process within families confronting issues relating to aging parents. Mediation is a voluntary service in which the parties reach their own decision. As a mediator, I do not decide for you, but guide you toward reaching your own agreement. This includes resolution of family conflicts surrounding independence and lifestyle so the voice of each family member can be heard.

Benefits of Mediation Services:

  • Timely resolution of issues dividing families
  • Improved communications
  • Cost savings
  • Court Avoidance
  • Reduced stress
  • Preparation of a written plan to implement your agreement
