A GENTLE ALTERNATIVE TO LITIGATION & CONSERVATORSHIPS
Why Choose Mediation for Elder Care & Estate Conflicts?
When family members disagree on how to care for an aging parent or manage estate matters, taking the dispute to court often tears families apart. Formal court conservatorship proceedings and probate battles are public, exceptionally expensive, and create lasting rifts between siblings and relatives.
At NS Mediation Group, we understand that elder law disputes are rarely just about legal documents — they are rooted in family history, deep emotions, and concerns for a loved one’s well-being.
Led by mediator David Schlueter — who brings nearly 40 years of legal experience and specialized neutral training from Pepperdine’s Straus Institute — our process de-escalates emotional tension. We help adult children, aging parents, and fiduciaries engage in constructive dialogue to reach practical, dignified agreements.

THE NS MEDIATION GROUP ADVANTAGE
Compassion Backed by Legal Rigor
1
Preserving Family Unity & Relationships
Court trials create a destructive "win-or-lose" dynamic that permanently destroys family ties. Mediation focuses on empathy, mutual understanding, and shared goals, helping siblings and relatives work as a cohesive team for their aging loved one.
2
Complete Family Privacy
Courtroom probate hearings and public filings expose sensitive family finances and medical diagnoses to the public record. Our mediation sessions are 100% confidential under California law, keeping your family matters entirely private.
3
Trial-Tested Legal Insight
David Schlueter’s extensive legal background allows him to guide families through practical legal frameworks, ensuring agreements are legally sound, realistic, and clear to prevent future misunderstandings.
4
Save Substantial Time & Financial Resources
Protracted probate battles and contested conservatorships can drain estate assets rapidly in legal fees. Mediation resolves disputes in weeks rather than years, preserving the family’s estate for the care of their aging loved one.
