Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Going to trial is generally a process most people try to avoid due to the cost, time constraints and the emotional and unpredictable impact any case can have. Your fate is in the hands of the judge or jury, leaving uncertainty in the outcome. Today, due to the backlog in the court system, many courts even now require the use of Alternative Dispute prior to filing a case with the court.
Simply put, Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to a number of processes used to resolve a dispute between parties and is an alternative to litigation. Parties may attempt to resolve their dispute via ADR, or dispute resolution may be ordered by the court in the early stages of litigation in an attempt to resolve the dispute and avoid an unnecessary trial and the associated costs.
The goal of ADR is to provide a platform for parties to voluntarily design a consensual agreement versus having a judge or jury decide the case.
Advantages of ADR
- More cost-effective and faster than litigation saving time and money
- ADR is less formal and has more flexible rules than litigation
- Disputants have greater participation in reaching a solution, as well as more control over the outcome of the dispute
Don’t Litigate! Mediate or Arbitrate Your Dispute
Mediation vs. Arbitration
Mediation and arbitration differ in the process used to resolve a legal issue outside of the traditional court process, thus avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation all together. The difference is in the methods used to get from start to resolution.
Trust Protector
The trust protector acts as the overseer of the trust process giving the owners (grantor) a remaining voice. They oversee and counsel the trustee and accommodate changing circumstances while ensuring that the various trust directives are fulfilled.
