What can be mediated?
In family matters, among others:
- Alimony agreements.
- Agreements regulating marriage, separation, dissolution of the marital partnership, and divorce.
- Property issues arising from probate proceedings following the declaration of heirs.
In civil and commercial matters, among others:
- Commercial acts such as granting or restructuring loans, loans secured by real estate, acknowledgments of debt, among others.
- Agreements between partners and shareholders, and matters relating to civil and commercial companies.
- Situations related to real estate such as leases, real estate guarantees, and sales subject to conditions.
An agreement reached before a mediator is res judicata; its fulfillment is mandatory and its enforcement is immediate through summary proceedings. The term res judicata refers to the procedural moment when a judicial decision becomes final and no further legal recourse is available to modify or revoke it.
