A large percentage of the mediations undertaken end successfully with the conclusion of a comprehensive agreement. When an agreement is unanimously accepted by the heirs, it will be put in writing and signed to confirm its legal force. In some cases, a partial agreement may resolve certain disputes. Unresolved disputes are usually referred to the Courts. Also, since it is a voluntary process, the mediation of an estate can be suspended for a given period of time or simply stopped at the request of one or other of the heirs or the mediator.
