Do I Need to Go to Court for My Property Dispute?
Property disputes are overwhelming, and the thought of entering a court may make the scenario all the more stressful. Thus, it is important to realize that not all property disputes have to proceed to court. Most of them can be settled out of court with alternative dispute resolution, which is usually quicker, more inexpensive, and relatively less hostile. Here is an overview of alternative dispute resolution options:
Mediation
Mediation is the process whereby parties, with the help of an independent third-party mediator, discuss issues and reach a mutually agreeable resolution. This is a flexible, confidential process that quite often preserves relationships, making it ideal for family property disputes and commercial lease differences. Our litigation lawyers can help guide you through mediation and protect your interests.
Negotiation
Cases involving property disputes can be settled peacefully even without formal proceedings through direct negotiation by parties with the help of their respective lawyers. Efficient negotiation can solve problems quickly, securing the interests of both parties and resolving the dispute effectively.
Arbitration
It's a more formal alternative to going to court. The parties present the evidence and arguments before an arbitrator, who is under a mandate to come up with a final and binding verdict. It's generally quicker and more private than court litigation. It is very popular in disputes concerning commercial engagement and contract sales.
