Here to guide you through Jersey's complex property law with clarity and confidence.

Jersey has a unique and complex legal heritage. This is especially true when it comes to property law.  The Island’s legal system blends local legislation with customary law derived principally from Norman and French roots, as well as decades of local judicial decisions. This complexity can make property disputes seem impossibly complicated.
