Why use Mediation in in a boundary dispute?

Because it works

Consensus Mediators have a proven record of success in resolving even the most difficult Boundary and Property Disputes, often against the expectations of the parties.

Because you do not lose control

Agreements are reached by the parties, not imposed from above.

Because the mediator is impartial

The mediator is professionally experienced in property matters, and especially trained in dealing in problems like yours. He/She does not take sides and pick a winner. Instead we concentrate all the time on looking for the best way forward, and helping you to find it.

Because Mediation reopens communication

Often neither side has understood why the other feels as it does. Often core objectives are more complimentary and less mutually exclusive than expected.

Because it is speedy and cost effective

The large majority of disputes are fully resolved in a day, at a fraction of the cost of court proceedings.

Because it is practical

Often a settlement is reached that includes easements beyond the scope a judge can impose. You can consider not just the “correct” boundary but the BEST boundary. You can deal with the niggly side issues that will otherwise fester and reopen the war. The mediator cannot erase years of anger at a stroke, but can help to produce a workable solution to the legal issues.
