CEDR mediators successfully resolve 89% of disputes.
Mediation is uniquely placed to address the legal, financial, and emotional issues which are at the heart of Trusts, Wills & Probate disputes. Through the use of mediation, parties to disputes are able to reach fair, commercial settlements which allow families to heal and businesses to continue.
CEDR’s mediators are experienced in working with parties to Trust, Wills & Probate disputes with varying levels of complexity, ranging in value from £10,000 to the hundreds of millions. Here are some examples:
- Distribution of an estate valued in excess of £20m to children of the deceased.
- Challenge to a will governing the distribution of an estate worth £150,000 under the intestacy rules by a child to the deceased.
- High-net worth Family dispute in connection with very large property portfolio £100m.
