Daytona Beach Foreclosure Mediation Attorneys Create Solutions

By definition, Mediation is a process by which individuals or identities that have a common dispute can be brought together with the aid of a neutral mediator to resolve their differences. The neutral mediator is someone who has no particular interest in the results of the mediation other than to resolve the differences. The mediator will work with both parties to arrive at a solution which is mutually satisfactory. Usually, both parties agree on the choice of the trained mediator but this is not the case for foreclosure mediations. In 2012, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that mandatory mediations are no longer required for foreclosures but mediations still can be requested through filing a particular motion with the court.

The mediator does not determine who is right or wrong in the dispute. They merely assist in creating solutions which would be agreeable to both parties. This is done by getting both parties to understand the other ones positions and issues. Mediation is not normally binding but can be successfully used as a tool to help you resolve a conflict with your mortgage lender. Daytona Beach Foreclosure Attorneys can assist you in arranging for a mediation session as well as helping you prepare for it.

The Benefits of Mediation

  • Positive Future Dealings - The mediator can help develop solutions while still fostering a positive relationship between the parties focused or dealings.
  • Non-Threatening - Mediation can create a respectable and positive situation which allows participants to express their thoughts in a non-threatening way.
  • Focused Dialogue - The mediator will try to maintain positive communications and keep focused on the goals.
  • Cost Effective - Mediation usually costs considerably less than litigation. Both parties benefit.
  • Time Saving - Problem resolution can take a few hours or just days, rather than taking months.
  • No Risk - Since mediation is nonbinding, there are no risks. If an agreement is not obtained other avenues are still open.
  • Privacy - Mediation is done in a private setting and unlike most court proceedings will not be a subject of public record. What the parties have said in mediation cannot be used later in a court proceeding.
