Will disputes are common and solicitors in Anglesey are able to manage these on behalf of the disputers to help avoid additional stress and ongoing issues.
One of the common methods to help resolve conflicts is mediation and when properly managed by legal experts, could prevent costly and lengthy disagreements.
One of the main benefits of mediation is that agreements can be reached with the disputing individuals rather than by a judge in a court of law. This empowerment allows family members t take control and ownership of the outcome. A safe space is created where grievances and points of view can be aired without judgement.
Normally an initial meeting is called when all rules for the mediation process are agreed. Wills solicitors in North Wales will also help parties to reach agreements on common ground and where some agreements may be reached. After this, negotiations can start when agreements and, sometimes, compromises can be reached. A final agreement is then written down to be actioned.
Legal experts can ensure that all conversations are impartial but also constructive enough to reach a mutual agreement. They will also undertake active listening to understand all points of view and help them to problem solve, often creatively. Outcomes could include amendments to the Will or to distribute assets in a way not outlined in the document. If mediation fails, litigation could be the next step.
