Our People

SAMANTHA SHEPPARD

In 2004, Samantha (Sam) and her husband left the bright lights of London and ‘escaped’ to the stunning seaside town of Noosa.

Sam previously qualified as a lawyer in England in 1999 and for the next five years worked as a specialised commercial property lawyer, mainly acting for large corporate clients.

After moving to Noosa, Sam’s practice diversified and she started acting for individual and corporate clients on a variety of commercial, business, property and estate planning/administration/dispute matters.

During this time, Sam developed a strong interest in business and succession law.  Sam’s practice now mainly focuses on providing advice to clients in respect of their leasing, business and estate matters.

Sam prides herself on providing an efficient and personal service to her clients.

One size doesn’t fit all and Sam appreciates that each client’s needs are different and they each deserve an individualised approach to their legal issues.

Outside of work, Sam is often heard mediating disputes between her three sports mad and competitive sons.  Her taxi service to and from sporting venues is busy but unlucrative.

    ENDURING POWER OF ATTORNEY

    People make financial decisions at every stage of life. Some decisions are big, like buying or selling a home. Others are part of everyday life, such as paying bills or buying groceries. All of these decisions matter because they affect your security and wellbeing. They become even more important as you get older. As people age, some may find it harder to manage their own money. This can happen suddenly after an accident or illness, such as a stroke. It may become difficult, or even impossible, to go to the bank or pay bills. In other cases, this change happens slowly over time, for example because of dementia. If you can no longer manage your own finances, someone else will need to do this for you. Important questions need to be answered. Who will pay your bills? Who will make decisions about how your care is paid for? You can plan ahead by making an enduring power of attorney. This lets you choose someone you trust to look after your financial affairs if you are no longer able to do so yourself. Contact us today for a no obligation appointment.
