Florida probate litigation can get expensive, just ask any Florida trust lawyer. That is why more and more estate lawyers in Florida are endorsing mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. I blog about alternative dispute resolution in probate lawsuits all the time. Has your probate litigation attorney discussed mediating a settlement? One question many clients ask is what happens if the other side breaks the terms of our settlement? You may still be able to get a final judgment in your probate lawsuit, check out this recent appeal to learn more.
Mediated Settlements
- Florida probate lawyers know that sometimes a settlement is better than a judgment from a judge or a verdict from a jury.
- Do you know why?
- For one thing sometimes people do not even pay the judgments meaning you have to go collect them.
- This can require a whole other lawyer who is going to also cost money.
- Florida estate lawyers like mediated settlements because they avoid the pain (and cost) of a Palm Beach probate lawsuit.
- Are you considering settlement?
- You may wonder, what happens if the other side stops paying.
- You still have a right to get a judgment if they breach the mediation settlement.
- Probate attorneys Florida will still file suit after a settlement is executed, if it is breached.
