If I want to pursue a claim, will the matter remain a private family matter?

If I want to pursue a claim, will the matter remain a private family matter?

If the claim is made in a lawsuit (including probate proceedings), the claim will be a matter of public record (in other words, not private). If you have privacy concerns, please inform us the first time we communicate. Many cases of this nature can be confidentially resolved prior to filing a public lawsuit through, for example, mediation with the assistance of an impartial, professional mediator such as a retired judge.
