Why are more and more people considering probate mediation as an   alternative to Florida probate litigation?Florida trust lawyers and Florida probate litigation attorneys are recommending this form ofalternative dispute resolution more and more. Do you know why probate mediation is “all the rage” is West Palm Beach? Here are a few reasons. 

#1 Money

  • Estate lawyers in Florida know probate lawsuits are expensive.
  • Mediation can be a lot cheaper, for two reasons.
  • First a lot less paperwork and Court appearances.
  • Second if you plan on filing a probate lawsuit they will likely require that you (and by they I mean the probate judge) go through mediation prior to a full trial. 
  • In other words the money you spend on a mediation would have been spend anyways on a Palm Beach probate mediator!

#2 Complexity

  • Any lawsuit can get complex.
  • Even a simply divorce can get complex- and that only has two parties.
  • Now picture a probate lawsuit with dozens of interested parties who all want paid a portion of the inheritance.
  • When every side gets a probate litigation attorney you know things are going to get expensive and complicated.
  • Florida probate lawyers know that their clients interests are the most important but now you could have dozens of them fighting for that point!
  • One way to keep it all a lot calmer is to hire one Florida estate lawyer to act as a mediator between all the parties.
  • This may, key word being may, force an amicable settlement.

#3 Time

  • Here is something few people will tell you, that probate lawsuit could take years to get to trial.
  • Probate attorneys Florida sometimes know the best bet to settle a case is to drag it out as long as possible.
  • This is not as easy to do when there is an election to pursue probate mediation.
  • Florida estate attorneys tend to listen to a mediator who is not going to play their same games.
  • Some probate judges have thousands of cases allowing for the dilatory actions of opposing counsel to slip under the rug, that is not the case when it comes to Palm Beach probate attorneys who also act as mediators.
