Mediation and Arbitration
Family Law
Conflict is a fact of life. Studies show conflict is necessary for evolution and growth. It is not about whether there will be conflict in your life – it’s all about how to resolve the inevitable conflict that arises. At Resolution Place we specialize in conflict resolution.
At Resolution Place we offer mediation services for all types of situations that may arise in your family, your neighbourhood or your workplace.
Susan Kurtz of Resolution Place in Nelson BC is qualified as an Arbitrator under the Arbitration Act of BC . Arbitration gives you a binding result that is fast, fair and final, in addition to being private.
Collaborative Practice
A Team Approach to Conflict Resolution
Do you want to learn how to consciously uncouple? Collaborative Practice is a respectful and compassionate team approach to family conflict resolution. Most of our clients save up to 90% of the legal fees they would incur using the traditional court process. Resolution Place has been offering the Collaborative Practice team method to separation and divorce since 2002.
Litigation
Start a lawsuit. Defend a lawsuit
Sometimes, but rarely, the courtroom is the best place to resolve your family law issues.
You might get dragged into a courtroom fight against your wishes.
If you find yourself a party to a court proceeding, you need to find solid, competent, experienced family law legal counsel to assist you.
At Resolution Place, we offer more than 25 years successful ligation experience in all levels of court in the Province, including the Provincial Court, the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Court of Appeal of British Columbia.
And just because court proceedings have commenced does not mean you cannot still reach an acceptable resolution through mediation, arbitration or collaborative practice.
Reduce your stress. Save money. Come to Resolution Place to discuss your options.
Wills and Estates
Why do you need a will?
Because life bites and the unexpected happens.
Because life is unfair and none of us will get out of it alive.
If you do not appoint a guardian for your children in your will, the court will appoint a guardian after your death.
Give your family the gift of peace of mind. Do not leave them guessing after you are gone.
Protect your wealth from unnecessary taxes through estate planning.
We offer a full range of services around wills including
- Estate planning
