If more families would engage in mediation, ugly guardianship litigatgion and substantial legal fees would be avoided. As a mediatior, as well as an attorney, who has been involved in many guardianship proceedings, I know that the earlier the issues are addressed the better it is for all members of the family. You are correct the time is now for mediating family disputes involving the elderly. Joy, thanks for posting the articles.

Thank you for your comment - you bring up very interesting points about the difference between neutrality and compassion. I'm sure I am just beginning on the road of understanding compassion. I will say that as mediators, we are taught not to be neutral about process - I see it as my job to guide the process. I'd love to hear more from you! Thanks! Hi GAJ,

Neutrality/impartiality as it pertains to mediation is composed of three prongs: Process, outcome, parties. Most mediators are impartial regarding parties (e.g., not taking sides). Less are impartial/neutral regarding outcomes(e.g. not favoring a particular outcome - fair, written agreement). Most mediators are not impartial/neutral regarding process (e.g. deciding where parties sit, caucusing, generating movement, allowing one person to talk at a time).
