What does a probate mediator do in Florida?
A probate mediator in Florida helps parties involved in estate and trust disputes resolve their disagreements outside of court. This includes disputes over wills, trusts, fiduciary conduct, beneficiary rights, and estate administration. The mediator is a neutral facilitator who works with all sides to explore settlement options, clarify legal and practical risks, and help the parties reach a voluntary resolution.
What types of cases does Jared W. Gasman mediate?
Jared W. Gasman focuses his mediation practice on probate, trust, and estate disputes, including will contests, breach of fiduciary duty claims, beneficiary disputes, contested accountings, and conflicts involving personal representatives and trustees. He also mediates a range of civil matters, including personal injury, contract disputes, and real estate conflicts.
Is mediation required in Florida probate cases?
In many Florida probate and trust cases, courts will order mediation before trial. Even when not required, mediation is often encouraged because it can significantly reduce litigation costs, time, and emotional strain while giving the parties greater control over the outcome.
Why use a mediator with probate litigation experience?
Probate and trust disputes often involve layered legal issues, fiduciary duties, valuation questions, and complex family dynamics. A mediator with substantial probate litigation experience can better understand the legal posture of the case, engage meaningfully with counsel, and help parties realistically evaluate risk, leverage, and settlement options. This can make mediation more efficient and more likely to result in resolution.
Can mediation work if the parties are highly conflicted?
Yes. High-conflict probate and trust disputes are often well-suited for mediation when handled by an experienced mediator. Jared W. Gasman is known for helping resolve cases that appear “unresolvable” by creating a structured, professional mediation environment, facilitating difficult conversations, and guiding parties toward practical solutions.
Does mediation replace going to court?
Mediation does not eliminate the right to go to court. It is a confidential settlement process designed to resolve disputes without the time, expense, and uncertainty of trial. If mediation is successful, the parties enter into a settlement agreement. If not, the case can proceed through litigation.
How do I schedule a mediation?
You may schedule a mediation by contacting the office directly to request availability. Counsel and parties are encouraged to provide a brief case summary in advance so the mediation can be prepared efficiently and productively.
