U.S. News and World Reports ranks Mediation among top professions in Best Careers for 2008
In November 2007, the Florida Supreme Court changed Florida law and dropped the requirement that Federal Court mediators be attorneys....this move was supported by most mediators and trainers in the profession...paving the way for a profession of "Mediator" regardless of background.
The Toledo Blade reports:
"Mediation can be very helpful to preserve relationships among heirs who get into squabbles when dividing estates left by their loved ones."
(July 6, 2008)
Indeed, families rarely prepare for death in a way that eliminates misunderstandings and hard feelings in the aftermath of the death of a loved one. Lynn MacBeth strongly recommends that families with wills and estate plans schedule a preparatory family mediation session in order to receive guidance for preventing problems before they divide your family.
