Generational Transition Mediation Services

Facing one's death and embarking on an Estate Planning process is a complex and emotional process. Working with a lawyer to draft a will and trust instruments, strategizing with an insurance specialist to manage insurance issues, and developing a complimentary financial plan with financial specialists requires hard work and deep introspection. Your professionals are invaluable and necessary for this process to work properly but often there are family issues that can interfere with or even halt the process. Your current professional team may not be equipped to deal with some of these issues.

For instance:

• You may feel uncomfortable talking to your kids about money. How should you do it?
• You may not know exactly how you want to handle a living will and/or durable power of attorney.
• You may want to make peace with a particular family member/s but not know what to do.

• You and your spouse may disagree about the disposition of certain important assets.

We at Howell Larsen are experienced at complimenting your team of professionals to deal with issues like the above through a customized mediation process. Often low pressure, voluntary meetings where participants are encouraged to develop solutions themselves can break through seemingly insurmountable barriers.
