[WSBAPT] Elder law Question

[Mark Vohr]

Sangeeta –

            Yes, mediation is used all the time to address and resolve guardianship petitions – and as an ex parte commissioner, Eric Watness is very familiar with the issues and an excellent person to mediate with.  We have also worked with Retired Judge and former Ex Parte commissioner Kim Prochnau who now has her own mediation services and who is also excellent.

Assuming there are issues that might prevent the straight forward dismissal of the petition, one would be well served preparing for mediation by exploring less restrictive alternatives to address the issues raised.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [WSBAPT] Elder law Question

Hello All,

Had a question come up today:

Has anyone done a mediation to prevent a possible guardianship?  Are there mediation services available to assist families with such issues?  If yes, what success have you had and would love the contact info for these services?

Thanks,

Sangeeta
