Sometimes disagreements happen between family members. Issues may include:

• caring for aging or ill parents
• sharing the family cabin or other property
• dividing up estate property and items
• communications problems
• sibling disputes
• issues that are loaded with emotions, often long-standing ones
• adult children moving back home
• many other family issues.

Mediation is a guided process where parties come together to work out a solution and keep control over the outcome. Trained mediators provide a setting where reaching agreement is possible and all participants have the opportunity to voice their concerns.

The mediation process respects the rights of all involved. It is a confidential and voluntary process.
