mediation

jus_tin4

so in short, family dispute over the farm etc, where do you find a mediator or someone on those lines? unfortunately I'm sure i won't be the last to be in this situation.

any help much appreciated

Is it in relation to farm transfer? I know teagasc had mediators at their 'transferring the family farm' seminars. I think they usually run in October so that's no use to you, but if you rang you're local teagasc office they may be able put you in contact with someone who can help.

Try not to stress about it. Things will work themselves out.

PM sent. Mediation is great IF both parties willing. Best of luck to you. Hope you can find a practical solution.

thanks for the advice! wasn't sure where to go to at all, its sort of a hard one to define without the whole story, its a sad state when two people can sit down and have a conversation, but as someone once sid to me 'nothing will drive an irish man mad like land and women'

Land can be the root of all evil in a situation like that. The only advice I can give u is to keep communication lines open at all times.

Formal mediation is good but all they can make is recommendations. Still open to both parties to litigate so be careful before you spend a load of money on mediation or any alternative dispute resolution. Know this a family matter is there any family member/ neutral party who could assist. Ask a solictor for advice so you can know where you stand but my opnion would be try and avoid law end up costing so much will be no farm for either of ye.

dad told a story before...
a farmer had two sons, a smart one and a dumbass one. he couldn't split the farm in two without the smart one complaining about bogs fences sheds and access etc. so one night in the pub the farmer got some advice from an old timer. let them sort it out between themselves he says, tell the smartass to split it as he sees fit, and let the other decide which half he wants.

i presume you would have to make the worse half as attractive as possible, in case he'd

choose the good half
