TOP LEGAL SERVICES WITH JULIES ATTORNEYS INC
Julies Attorneys have a thorough understanding of the law and can apply it to a wide range of legal issues. Our experience includes knowledge of case law, statutes, and legal principles relating to litigation in general and specifically to property law and conveyance, family law, estate administration, personal injury law, labour and workplace law, debt collection and recoveries, as well as criminal law. Below are the specialised, primary areas of law we will assist you with:
LITIGATION LAW
Litigation refers to taking legal action through the courts to resolve disputes or seek redress for a wrong. This can include civil lawsuits, criminal trials, and appeals. Litigation can be complex and time-consuming, and parties should seek legal advice before pursuing litigation. The rules and procedures governing the litigation process are set out in the Magistrates’ Court Act 32 of 1944, the Superior Court Act 10 of 2013, and other relevant legislation. Overall, it is vital to remember that litigation can be costly and time-consuming, and it is advisable to seek legal advice to ensure cost-effective litigation.
PROPERTY LAW
Property law includes the laws and regulations governing the ownership, use, and transfer of real property (land and buildings) in the country. It includes various aspects such as buying, selling, renting, leasing, mortgages, and property development. The primary legislation that regulates property law is the Alienation of Land Act of 1981, which sets out the procedures for buying and selling property. Other relevant legislation includes the National Credit Act, which regulates the granting of mortgages, and the Sectional Titles Act, which governs the ownership and management of properties in sectional title schemes.
FAMILY LAW
Family law refers to the laws and regulations that govern family relationships, including marriage, antenuptial contracts, divorce, child custody, and child and spousal maintenance. These laws are governed by the Children’s Act 38 of 2005, the Maintenance Act 99 of 1998, and the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984, among others. Family law also deals with issues related to domestic violence and the protection of children. The courts are responsible for enforcing these laws and resolving disputes related to family law. Our family law attorneys will afford you the necessary compassion and expertise to deal with matters efficiently.
PERSONAL INJURY
Personal injury law refers to the legal remedies available to individuals who have been physically or mentally harmed as a result of the negligence or intentional actions of another party. This can include injuries sustained in car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, and more. Personal injury claims can be brought against individuals, companies, or government entities and typically involve compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and more. It’s important to note that personal injury claims are subject to a prescription period, a time limit within which a claim must be brought.
ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
Estate administration includes:
- Collecting the assets of the deceased person.
- Paying off any debts and taxes.
- Distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries according to the Will of the deceased or in terms of the Wills Act of 1953 if the deceased died without leaving a valid will.
The deceased estate can also be concluded in terms of both a valid will and the Wills Act if it is found that certain of the provisions of the Will are either invalid, vague, in contradiction to the requirements of the Constitution, immoral or if the deceased testator did not allocate certain assets of the deceased estate.
