While mediation is not a substitute for legal, tax or estate planning services, it can provide an improved setting for the legal process by: - Opening lines of communication among people separated by distance, misunderstandings or hurt feelings.
- Assisting in developing solutions that take into account monetary and emotional concerns of the participants.
- Helping participants decide how to record and communicate agreements so that their provisions are carried out as was intended during the mediation process.
- Helping clarify issues so that conversations with the appropriate professionals can focus on the legal issues, rather than on interpersonal conflicts.
- Empowering the individuals involved and, in many cases, transforming their future relationships with one another.
