Adult Guardianship/Elder Care Mediation

Avoid Court Costs in Elder Care Disputes With Mediation

When the discussions about Adult Guardianship or Elder Care become disputes, court costs and legal fees can put a financial strain on everyone involved. More importantly, the emotional toll of going to trial and having to accept the outcome can tear families apart. Adult Guardianship/Elder Care Mediation is a voluntary alternative to traditional court proceedings. As trained mediators, our attorneys are able to draw from their years of experience working with the elderly to find mutually acceptable solutions.

The process of mediation starts with all parties agreeing to meet and discuss their concerns with a neutral person or mediator. Private, individual meetings can take place with our attorney in the home or at the office so that each person involved in the dispute feels free to share their concerns or ideal outcome. Once we have talked to all parties, recommendations will be presented and discussed until everyone agrees on a workable solution. As the mediator, our recommendations are not presented formally to the courts but are designed to be a more creative way to solve problems without mandates. In the end, the ultimate goal of mediation is to find a way to maintain the rights of the elderly while ensuring that they are safe and sufficiently cared for.
