Mediation by Local Rule or Special Order:<br />The Court, by Local Rule or special order, may direct the parties to participate in private or court-sponsored mediation.<br />Note: Rule 1.6 has no counterpart in former Orphans’ Court Rules.<br />Explanatory Comment: The confidentiality of mediation is provided by statute, see 42 Pa.C.S. § 5949.172<br />(The Task Force notes that Proposed Rule 1.6 would provide for mediation in all Orphans’ Court matters, and would not be limited to guardianship matters.)<br />2. The Pennsylvania Bar Association (“PBA”) is currently considering a proposal of the Orphans’ Court Mediation Subcommittee of its Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee to facilitate and encourage mediation by way of a model local rule. The proposal would provide for mediation of all Orphans’ Court matters.<br />3. The Task Force finds that mediation of guardianship matters has been implemented in other states and has the potential to provide benefits and ameliorate some of the problems associated with guardianship decision-making; however, there is a need to assess its disadvantages and how such a process would work in practice.<br /><br />Anyone know if this has been implemented or how it works or doesn't work? Is it trickery thinking there is recourse at the probate without shark lawyers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-7787022641473110222015-03-23T16:12:26.803-05:002015-03-23T16:12:26.803-05:00I agree with you Anonymous and I also agree with N...I agree with you Anonymous and I also agree with Nancy and am offended by Getty's remarks.StandUpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-899799719687031502015-03-23T16:02:02.451-05:002015-03-23T16:02:02.451-05:00Jetta Getty is a real piece of work, isn't she...Jetta Getty is a real piece of work, isn't she?

They could care less other than to hell-hole mom for safe-keeping and drugging; and won't send her out of state to us. It's about recklessly abusive and cruel power, dominion and control and not so much the money but, they'll take what they can get. <br /><br />While LEGALLY the money is important, Mother, the individual became a thing, lesser than a victim. There's no regard before a judge's box for the human it would appear.<br /><br />My evil siblings can have everything just give us my wife's mother to carry her through to her reward. The court I feel would never buy this, the lawyers would have a heyday. <br /><br />There seems to be no reasonable recourse in Pennsylvania as the "incapacitated" ward's input is little more than dust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-66128450188156141932015-03-23T11:12:03.097-05:002015-03-23T11:12:03.097-05:00It is simply not the case in Florida that professi...It is simply not the case in Florida that professional guardians are appointed as the last resort!!! as the president of the Florida Guardian Association has stated. <br />Kathleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-60555506661018043332015-03-23T10:09:43.485-05:002015-03-23T10:09:43.485-05:00I am sorry this happened to the Sugar family.I am sorry this happened to the Sugar family.Bettynoreply@blogger.com
