NSSS&B

The law firm of Nichols, Sacks, Slank, Sendelbach & Buiteweg handles many aspects of family law, including helping families constructively plan for the care of older adults. Mediation is often used to help families resolve issues and avoid resorting to the courts for decision-making on such issues as: Guardianship and estate planning Medical treatment and medical power of attorney Living arrangements Long-term care planning Financial planning and executorship Advocacy for elders' rights Financial disputes among family members Conservatorship Identity theft and financial fraud. We believe strongly that mediation is an effective alternative to court, and the preferred way to resolve emotionally charged issues that, with guidance, could have been decided by the families themselves. Elder Mediation provides the counsel of a trained, neutral third party to help families communicate effectively and come together to reach mutually agreeable decisions. The attorneys at Nichols, Sacks, Slank, Sendelbach & Buiteweg have the training and experience in adult guardianship mediation to be effective elder law mediators, striking a balance between the concerns of adult children and the privacy and autonomy of an elder adult.
