Unlike the professional fees that you would have to incur on your own if you were to retain a lawyer, the professional fees payable to the mediator will be shared by all the heirs. The cost of the fees is therefore a smaller fraction of the fees you would incur to be represented by a lawyer in a legal proceeding before the Courts. The speed with which conflict situations are handled by the mediator is significantly less than the time required by the Court of Justice. This significantly reduces the cost of professional fees.
