Sussman Law

About Sussman Law

Sussman Law is a small, real estate focused law firm based in Toronto, run by founder Joseph Sussman out of an office on Duncan Mill Road in North York, with a second, by appointment office near Peterborough in the Kawarthas. Sussman earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa in 2012 and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2013, after articling with in house legal counsel at a municipality in the Greater Toronto Area. Sussman is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Peterborough Law Association.

The firm's core work is residential real estate: buying and selling houses, condos, farms, rural property and vacant land, along with mortgage refinancing and title transfers between family members. For rural and cottage country clients, that includes issues that don't come up in a typical city closing, like unregistered easements, road access, septic systems and wells. The firm also reviews condo status certificates before purchase, handles pre construction and assignment deals, and takes on commercial real estate and private purchase and sale agreements.

Beyond real estate, Sussman Law offers notary and commissioner of oaths services, including witnessing signatures, commissioning affidavits and declarations, and certified true copies of documents, plus estate planning work such as wills and powers of attorney for property and personal care. Clients across Ontario can sign documents remotely, by video conference or an in-home visit, instead of coming into the office.
