Elder Mediation Agreement

An Elder Mediation Agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of a mediation process that is designed to resolve disputes or conflicts involving older adults and their families. The agreement typically specifies the issues that will be addressed in the mediation, such as caregiving arrangements, financial management, or end-of-life decision-making, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the mediator and the parties involved. The agreement may also include provisions for confidentiality, voluntary participation, and the enforceability of any agreements reached through the mediation process. The Elder Mediation Agreement is an important tool for facilitating communication, collaboration, and problem-solving among older adults and their families and for avoiding the need for costly and adversarial legal proceedings.
