What Does Selwyn's Law Do?

With a Masters Degree in the Laws of Taxation, one of  Selwyn’s primary areas of focus is that of estate planning and wealth management.  This area of law encompasses the proper application of tax, estate planning, trusts and probate law and requires expertise in the drafting of wills, trusts, durable powers of attorneys for assets, and health care directives.  That means SELWYN’S LAW helps its clients do all that is legally required to ensure their assets are disposed of in accordance with their wishes upon their passing and/or their assets/financial management and health care-related decisions are executed by the individuals of their choosing upon their incapacity.

SELWYN’S LAW also advises and counsels its clients on the intricacies of federal bankruptcy law. This area of law encompasses the proper application of the Federal Bankruptcy Codes and Rules along with the applicable California and Federal case law to help her clients achieve their ultimate debt restructuring or relief goals.  Selwyn accomplishes this by meeting with clients to thoroughly review their debts, assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  She then counsels her clients regarding the advisability of filing either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case, discussing the pros and cons of both procedures, and answering the questions each client needs in order to make an informed decision about whether to file for bankruptcy, in if so, which chapter to file under.

SELWYN’S LAW also advises its clients on federal income, estate, and excise tax issues, and state and local level income, business, property, sales and use tax issues. SELWYN’S LAW also provides tax planning advice in the selection of a business structure, including proprietorships, corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, and joint ventures.  

Because Selwyn holds a California Department of Real Estate Brokers License and manages her own portfolio of real estate, Selwyn also has expertise in real estate and land use law.  That means SELWYN’S LAW helps its clients by providing advice in the areas of residential and commercial sales, leasing, financing, title issues, tenancy-in-common issues and other related matters such the negotiation, preparation and review of contracts and other legal documents in accordance with California Real Estate Law.
