ELDER MEDIATION

Elder mediation is a specialized form of mediation that focuses on resolving conflicts and disputes involving older adults. As individuals age, they may face a range of unique challenges and issues, such as caregiving responsibilities, estate planning, inheritance disputes, and decisions related to healthcare and long-term care. Elder mediation provides a collaborative and structured process for families and individuals to address these complex matters. By fostering communication, understanding, and respect among family members, elder mediation helps to preserve relationships, preserve the autonomy and dignity of older adults, and reduce the emotional and financial costs often associated with traditional litigation. It promotes an inclusive approach that considers the preferences and needs of the older adult, aiming for outcomes that benefit all involved parties.
