PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA KEWARISAN MELALUI MEDIASI: JALAN TERBAIK MENYELESAIKAN MASALAH

The division of inheritance does not always run smoothly. Many disputes occur between the heirs, both before and after the distribution of the inheritance. Disputes can be resolved by mediation, either out of court (non-litigation) or in court (litigation). Settlement of disputes over the division of inheritance by way of mediation is an alternative that can create a harmonious family atmosphere. Inheritance disputes can be resolved by mediation in court (litigation) because inheritance disputes are the absolute authority of the Religious Court. This research aims to find out the process of resolving inheritance disputes through the media. In this research using a qualitative method with a literature study approach, data is obtained from published studies and analyzed to obtain actual conclusions.
