Family Mediation – Conflict Management

Pleasanton, CA – San Francisco, CA Aunty Jean never married, but she always worked hard and was a loving Aunt to her two nephews and three nieces. During her life she lived frugally, saving whatever she could and had accumulated an estate of nearly two million dollars.

When she passed, she left a hand-written will that, like so many of those documents, raised more questions than it answered. She failed to mention her still living mother and step-father. She said nothing of her brother and sister. She said that she wanted her nieces and nephews to “share and share alike, except for Janet, unless she straightens out.” The family was set for a conflict that could last for years and cost thousands of dollars. Worst of all, the situation threatened to cause a rift in the family that might never heal.

Fortunately one of the nephews had worked with Liaise Mediation in the past and told the rest of the family how sitting down around a table with a trained professional was the best first step in trying to manage this problem. At the mediation the family was able to arrive at a solution that was in the best interest of the family and fair to all concerned.
