Wills, powers of attorney and probate

Estate work at JSS Law starts with drafting wills and setting up powers of attorney, which give someone you choose the authority to look after your money or personal matters should you no longer be able to. When someone dies, the firm helps executors with probate, from validating the will to getting the court approvals needed to administer the estate.

From police questioning to parole

JSS Law guides criminal clients from the first police questioning through bail hearings, trial and appeal. It also helps with parole hearings and sentence reductions.

Oaths, affirmations and sworn statements
