A death in the family and dispositions in wills can cause conflicts, often coupled with grief. If this matter is resolved in court through an adversarial proceeding, the contest will waste considerable assets that could be enjoyed by the brother and sister. Perhaps more alarming, from the mother’s point of view if she could follow the events after her death, litigation will result in animosity and estrangement between her children. One of the disputes of this kind handle by mediator of the association was a dispute between brother and sister after their father’s death. In fact, two families, the brother’s and the sister’s, were involved in intense arguments over a piece of land, several properties and several companies that worth over Hong Kong dollars 40millions, all located in Yuen Long, HK. Members of the two families were losing each other and there were several confrontations just 40days after their father’s death. One of the member of the families were arrested and being convicted of assault in DC. Winding-up petitions were taken out in the High Court and settlement was finally made by mediation just a day before trial!
