Overview of Mediation


Mediation is a process that helps parties resolve disputes without resorting to litigation. It involves an impartial third-party mediator who facilitates communication between the two sides and assists them in finding common ground. The goal of mediation is to reach a mutually agreeable resolution that both parties can accept. This form of dispute resolution has become increasingly popular as it offers many advantages over traditional courtroom litigation. 


Advantages of Mediation


The primary benefit of mediation is its cost-effectiveness compared to other forms of dispute resolution. Because the process does not involve lawyers or court appearances, costs are significantly lower than those associated with taking a case to trial. Additionally, because the mediator acts as an impartial third party, there is less potential for hostility and animosity between the two sides than if they were dealing directly with each other in court proceedings. Finally, mediation allows for more flexibility in terms of reaching an agreement since it does not have to follow strict legal procedures like a trial would have to do.

You can petition the court to become the administrator if you're a close family member. 4. File for Probate - Probate is the legal process of settling the estate: Go to the probate court in the county where the deceased lived. File a petition for probate without a will .

Special Programs: Children (CHIP or Medicaid) : Often completely free. Pregnant women and people with disabilities : Usually receive coverage with little to no cost. Engaging in Medicaid planning well in advance can significantly enhance peace of mind for individuals and their families, ensuring they make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals.
