Will Contests: Alternative Methods for Resolving Disputes

 

There are three main alternatives when it comes to resolving will contest disputes.

Party negotiations, mediation, and arbitration are the three main alternatives to try and resolve will contest disputes. Party negotiations in this context involve efforts by the parties, with or without counsel, but without the aid of a formal mediator or other neutral, to resolve the parties’ dispute. The maxim that a good settlement is often one where all parties walk away somewhat unhappy should be reinforced with the clients. This video reviews these three alternatives and how these options can often be more efficient and less costly.
