22.01.2022 ADELAIDE FLIGHT LEADS TO ARREST AND 2 WEEKS! *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 01/05/2020 @ 12:00pm*** There is a little magazine for solicitors in Queensland called the Proctor and generally its pretty boring. In the latest edition I read one article and I just went: Oh my God how your life can be turned upside down so simply.... A sole practitioner, just like me, flew from Brisbane to Adelaide. She had a bit of work to do and then after a while caught up with a friend and they went to see a Korean drum band at a concert. While at the concert she got a phone call: Were you on Virgin flight Brisbane to Adelaide in seat number 54? Yes. You are detained. Stay exactly where you are and have you had any contact with your friends? Yes, she’s here with me at the concert. She is detained as well. Next minute, two men in full hazmat suits walk through the concert-goers and arrested her and her friend. They were taken by ambulance to an emergency detention centre, which had been set up two days before. She offered her Medicare card and the man in the moon suit said: We can’t touch anything of yours. She did have a sore throat and they ran tests on her and she had Influenza A, which, she was told, has killed far more people than COVID-19. Apparently you get detained for 14 days since the last contact. An international traveller infected with a virus had landed in Brisbane, did nothing about it and sat next to her on the flight to Adelaide. Her friend gets detained for 14 days from the contact with her so she gets longer in detention. She had purchased a box of chocolates and two bottles of wine as gifts for her friends but apparently they’re gone now. At last report they were still both still in custody, detained in a hotel in Adelaide.

21.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS LOOK AT THE POSITIVE SIDE *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 17/04/2020 @ 12:00pm*** Rona Proof Yourself On the positive side the rona virus is forcing us to be far more creative. My friends were cooking up a brioche in one home and a Boston bun out of sweet potato in another home. My boys were doing a big jigsaw puzz...le with their mother. Did you ever hear of the first and third-year university students on a Saturday doing that ha ha? I’m doing more sketching and painting and more canoe expeditions. I’ve got my promotional range of products Opal and black coral jewellery and pearls chocolate Almonds and the usual Schroder Chardonnay and Cam’s Cabernet and I’m delivering these out by hand mostly. Don’t worry, there are health precautions in my office would make a dictator proud. We wash our hands after every client and documents are sprayed with chemical. At the desk you sit 2 metres from staff and it is tough but all clients are forced to wash their hands before the appointment. Rona attacks the lungs. It destroys the alveoli. The lack of oxygen can cause brain damage or death. One of my greatest fears is being in a hospital bed with no quality of life. You need two documents to avoid this. An Enduring Power of Attorney and an Advanced Health Directive. One is a directive to your doctor e.g. don’t resuscitate me if I’ve got no quality of life and example 2, don’t feed me intravenously with a tube. The Advanced Health Directive is a directive to your doctor of your health wishes and the Enduring Power of Attorney appoints an attorney to give instructions to your doctor and act on your behalf if you can’t. Both are vital and so is a Will. I like to be upfront about fees: a Will costs $220, an Enduring Power of Attorney $250, and Advanced Health Directive $330 a total of $800 but if you do all three at once we charge $600. I like to end this story on a positive note. Due to Rona my habits have changed, spending three hours with a really close mate on the verandah quietly sipping a wine and chatting away and also for the first time ever doing FaceTime with Mum and Dad on WhatsApp and it was simply a joy.

20.01.2022 Just some practical advice

18.01.2022 HERE IN CQ OUR ECONOMY IS BOOMING, - ALSO IT’S GO YEPPOON *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win the Schroder Sambuca. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 25/09/2020 @ 12:00pm*** WHEN you look at the news you see countless negative stories about the COVID-19 and how it’s radically affecting the world and in Australia, particularly Victoria. What’s the capital of Victoria? Answer: $100!... Just a silly little joke but they’re in trouble and will be for the next 12 months. Here in Central Queensland our economy is booming. Victorians are buying houses, sight unseen, and we have a buoyant property market. Here we have new businesses starting up. Down at the Railway Hotel, 144 people can sit down and they’re regularly being booked out. And outside the Strand Hotel, I see a big queue of people waiting to go in. The Vue restaurant is booked out for six weeks and there’s a new wine bar going into the Echelon building. There are new businesses starting up. Great Keppel Island is completely booked out on weekends for accommodation. And there seems to be an enormous number of people in our town. - Go Yeppoon!

15.01.2022 OUR PROBLEM IS WE’RE LIVING FOR TOO LONG! *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 20/03/2020 @ 12:00pm*** IN an effort to bullet-proof our clients legally we have amended our standard charges, partly in recognition of the huge advances in medical science. Our standard fees: Wills $220 and Enduring Power-of-Attorney $250 and Advance Heal...th Directive $330. I believe one of the problems now is not dying too soon but living too long! This is certainly not true of much of Asia, South America and Africa where medical standards are poor. And I am not going to mention the United States of America, the richest country in the world, with the poorest health system. Standard healthcare in Australia is truly excellent. But with that excellence comes a quandary that medical science can keep you alive almost indefinitely. This may be associated with low or no quality of life. We have reduced the cost of an Advanced Health Directive from $330 to $130 if done in conjunction with a Will and Enduring Power of Attorney. Commonsense clauses in the Advanced Health Directive are leaving your organs for medical science where you may save young life (I don’t think they’re going to want my liver). A good clause is not to be resuscitated if your quality of life is very low and non-existent. I visit many of retirement homes 99% of the time they are exceedingly well run. An attorney can visit the doctor. The attorney can visit the chemist and pick up pills and get money out of the bank for you and go shopping for necessities. You are, in reality, allowing your nearest-and-dearest to help you in your hour of need. I am reminded of Sir Winston Churchill’s famous speech where he said: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. If you have been a good and humorous companion and mother, dad, uncle or aunt, those who love you will want to repay the favour to you in your hour of need.

15.01.2022 STOP OFF ON WAY HOME CAN BURGER UP ANY COMPO CLAIM *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 28/08/2020 @ 12:00pm*** IF you are working and you get injured and you have four weeks off you probably have got a good claim for substantial compensation. There’s all different sorts of compensation: Car accidents are different from work acc...idents. Horse accidents are different from slips and trips. There is compensation attached to superannuation funds. The whole area is a minefield though. Some accidents need to prove fault. With some accidents, fault doesn’t matter at all and particularly if you’re on a journey driving home from work. But if you stop for a hamburger around the corner from home then you burger up the claim. There’s also often permanent partial disability compensation attached to a superannuation fund. There are some time limits that are like a guillotine and deadly: particularly with unidentified vehicles and uninsured and unregistered vehicles. Your claim might be quite flimsy that some unidentified vehicle ran you off the road and you got injured but you can claim against a government department, called the nominal defendant, but don’t delay. Early advice is the key. Give Cam a call. It won’t cost you a cent and these cases are always done on a no-win-no-fee basis. Cam Schroder Lawyers phone number is 4925 0229.

11.01.2022 It might be the toughest decision of your life

10.01.2022 TOUGH LOVE SAYS ‘PULL THE PLUG’! *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 16/10/2020 @ 12:00pm*** THERE may be a time when you need a document to bash over the head of your doctor! If a lawyer gets told a horrific crime, he cannot tell the police. Indeed it is his duty to keep it a secret. It is a duty of confidence. It holds out against... the police, lawful authorities, and the courts. The reason is that it is better to let 100 guilty people go free than to jail one innocent person. It allows a person to get legal advice on the options available to him in a non-threatening and safe manner. Such advice is completely privileged it can not be revealed to anyone. It is, to the lawyer, a sacred duty. Doctors also have a duty and that is to preserve life sometimes called the Hippocratic Oath. The great advances in medical science are wonderful but there is a flip side. It is now possible for a patient who can’t talk, can’t read or write and is brain dead to be kept alive indefinitely on life-support systems and fed food through a tube. You may be in possession of an Enduring Power of Attorney executed by Mum in the event of her losing mental competence. You are the attorney for health reasons. A doctor may still refuse. This is where an Advanced Health Directive is invaluable. Mum will have signed this before her doctors and before her solicitor. It is very detailed. Provisions like: do not resuscitate me. Or a clause like: if I don’t have any quality of life, turn off the life support. It is a very tough decision. But sometimes for a family member, you must make that awful decision. It is tough love.

09.01.2022 YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PROBATE TO SIGN A CONTRACT ON GRANDMA’S HOUSE *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 6/03/2020 @ 12:00pm*** IT is a common misconception that you have to wait to get a grant of probate before you sign a contract on grandma’s house. You can sign a contract the day after she dies. The contract just needs three s...mall changes: 1. The executors sign as the personal representatives of grandma’s estate. 2. You need a special condition that settlement is in six weeks or seven days from the grant of probate, whichever is the latter. 3. If there is no grant of probate in three months the contract is null and void. The third condition is the gold-digger provision where some long-lost relative comes out of the woodwork and says great auntie Mary always said she’d leave the house to me. That protects both sides both the buyer and the sellers.

08.01.2022 WILL YOU PAY $220 OR $15K? TAKE MY ADVICE *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 7/08/2020 @ 12:00pm*** A TRUST can be created as testamentary trust or inter Vivos, which means you create them while you’re alive. The simplest and cheapest way to create a trust is a Will. For an individual, with a trust that you create while you’re al...ive, you could spend $3,000 to $15,000 on lawyers but you can create one with a Will. My firm charges $220. There are a number of reasons why you would want to create a trust with a Will, perhaps not to give young children a lot of money but to hold back the funds from your estate until they’re 18 or 25 years of age. You might set an educational goal that they finish; a tradesman’s apprenticeship or a university degree. The one that I really like is usually men who haven’t married until they’re 40 or 50 and have a 30-year-old son who’s highly competent and intelligent but just partying too much. The father creates a Will that the son will be cut out of the Will unless he achieves a specified matrimonial status i.e. get married. Sometimes the adult child is just a Big Spender and will spend every cent, or have problems with alcohol or drugs. If the parent thinks that the entire estate will be wasted they can set up a protective trust through the Will. It’s not unusual for a person to have a Letter of Wishes or a Letter of Direction to accompany the Will, with special requests maybe to scatter their ashes over the waters of Keppel Bay where they went fishing and enjoyed many happy moments. If you truly believe that your child is going to inject heroin up their arm with money that is inherited I believe you’ve got a duty to protect them via trust. But there’s also the happy stories where there’s an exceptional child that needs some funds to set up a business and with that capital injection will thrive. My father said to the headmaster that Cam was a good student so long as you patted him on the back often enough and hard enough and low enough.

Competition Closes Friday 22/11/19 @ 2:00pm*** Local solicitor Cam Schroder is very proud that he attended the Frenchville Primary School. He remembers sitting on the floor of the school’s library in 1969 watching Neil Armstrong in a rocket on the only black and white television in the school. The whole... school gathered in the library to watch Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. I remember the words clearly, he said. One small step for man and one huge step forward for mankind. Cam believes it was a very special day: Which was pretty impressive for me because I had a pushbike with no pedals. Dad made it and later added a lawnmower engine to create a motorbike. At that stage it didn’t have an engine and no pedals. You simply pushed your feet against the ground to move forward. I thought a man on the moon was a big step forward and I remember the day very well!

You move in together. You start a high-paying job at the mines. In this DREAMIE state you nominate the love of your life as your nomi...nated beneficiary. She runs off with your best mate. You really miss him. You move in with Mum and Dad. You move into a state of mind where you don’t care if you live or die. After a 12-hour shift you jump in the car. You just want to get back to Yeppoon. At 120mk/h you hit a bull and are killed. At that time if you had reviewed your Will, you probably would leave everything to your parents. If there is no Will, under the Intestacy rules, the Wife will get everything. Even if you did a Will, the Wife as your nominated beneficiary, will get all of your Superannuation. It can be quite difficult to change your nominated beneficiary. There is unlikely to be a local office for your Superannuation fund. The office is likely to be in Sydney or Melbourne. There most likely will be a 1300 number and you can spend hours on hold. We are experts at getting past the corporate veil. We charge $660.00 per Superannuation fund to change your nominated beneficiary. This includes a Letter of Authority. I believe many people, after hours on the phone, just give up.

02.01.2022 DON’T END UP AN EXECUTIONER! *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 6/12/19 @ 2:00pm*** Everyone needs to know this!... PEOPLE often confuse three documents: a Will, an Enduring Power of Attorney, and an Advanced Health Directive. The Will starts after death THE Will is the document that comes into effect when a person passes away. It appoints an executor. The executor is like an administrator and that administrator’s job is to pay any debts and then distribute the money to who the deceased wants the money to go to from their estate. Enduring Power of Attorney THE Enduring Power of Attorney is a document by which an agent is appointed to act on a person's behalf for health reasons or for financial reasons. Often, the appointment of the attorney is quite broad in the discretion regarding health in particular! For someone in a hospital bed with a poor level of enjoyment of life, it can be very scary. Advanced Health Directive THIS is where the Advanced Health Directive comes in. It is a separate document, which requires the input of a doctor. It gives very specific directions as to what is to happen to a person's body and their health. Without one, the ‘execution’ is left to the family Without an Advanced Health Directive it falls back, often to a son or a daughter, under the general provision in the Enduring Power of Attorney, where they’ve got an open hand. This is where, if someone is quite poorly in health, their son or daughter may be required to make the very tough decision to be their executioner. Advanced Health Directive can solve this problem THE document Advanced Health Directive can solve this problem. DON’T HESITATE TO GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU’VE GOT ANY WORRIES.

02.01.2022 ADVICE ON BUYING A CAR, WILLS, LOANS, A GUARANTEE *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 6/11/2020 @ 12:00pm*** Thinking of buying a car? YOU should do a revs search. This can tell you if there is finance owing on the car or if there is water damage with the car. And you can do a stolen check and you can check if it’s been written-off... in an accident. Always nominate a time and place where a bank cheque and all the signed transfer documents are exchanged for delivery of the motor vehicle. This solves so many problems. Why you should have a Will. IN the past 12 months I saw a classic example of a man been tendered very lovingly by sister for many months with cancer and on his deathbed made a gift of his whole estate to her. This is sometimes called a deathbed bequest. No Will was drawn up and it simply isn’t legally binding it’s a verbal declaration. Enduring power of attorney. IT happens so often that grandma is left in the family home and grandfather has passed away and it’s time to move grandma to a retirement home for proper care. Grandma’s lost her marbles and there’s nothing you can do. Public trustee as executor. A CLIENT of mine is battling the Public Trustee. He says their main focus is to lodge a tax return for his very elderly mother. All the family are old-age pensioners and there’s no income tax consequences here and he’s very angry. Always borrow from a bank. ALWAYS borrow from the bank, not a finance company. Asked to sign a Guarantee? NEVER sign one. It is the quickest way to lose the family home.

01.01.2022 AVOID SEX AT WORK AND NEVER THE BOSS’ WIFE! *** ‘Like and Share’ this post to go in the draw to win a choice of Cam's Cabernet or The Schroder Chardonnay. To be picked up from Shop 2/15 Hill Street. Competition closes Friday 20/12/19 @ 12:00pm*** A senior relative of mine once said Christmas, in terms of stress, is equivalent to a heart attack. But the effects of Christmas cheer can be long, enduring and painful. Top of the list is drink-driving: not only can you lose your... license but if you’re driving a long way to a coal mine, lose your job as well. Second on the list is having sex with a co-worker, the boss’ secretary or by far the worst the boss’ wife. I once spoke with an advocate who did a lot of unfair dismissals and he said invariably it involved sexual relations between people at work. So just don’t do it. Team up with a mate and identify the dangers for both of you. Actually do a list and then do a second list of ways to avoid those dangers. A few practical ideas: don’t drive the car to the pub and be tempted; or have a designated driver; or be scheduled to hop on a courtesy bus. Take cash out of bank for gifts, don’t spend any more IT is a big mistake to spend thousands of dollars on Christmas presents: most of which will be forgotten about three weeks later but the debt on your credit card won’t be! Set out a budget and actually get the cash out of the bank and this is the amount of money you are going to spend on Christmas presents. The Christmas cards from the Reject Shop at 75c do the job and are quite nice. Despite my words of wisdom, some of you will be given a notice to appear in the Magistrate’s Court for January 2020. I’ll give you my email address [email protected] and you can send through a message if you’re in trouble. I’ll be back on deck on January 6 ready to help people and mitigate any damage done through the silly season.
