I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where I continue to live and work. My journey in law began after completing my education at Riverside Presbyterian Day School and The Bolles School. I pursued higher education at Emory University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1998. I furthered my studies at Stetson University, earning both a Juris Doctorate and an M.B.A. in 2001 from the College of Law and School of Business Administration, respectively.
I am married to Cameron Naugle, who runs Naugle Funeral Home, and we are blessed with two children, Abigail and Logan. My family is a great source of joy in my life.
Professionally, I have been practicing law since 2001 and currently operate my own firm in the Riverside area of Jacksonville. I was admitted to practice by the Florida Bar and the United States Court, Middle District of Florida. My practice primarily deals with Estate planning, which encompasses the preparation of Revocable Living Trusts and Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Surrogate Designations, and Living Wills, in addition to handling Probate matters. I frequently speak to community groups on topics related to estate planning and probate, and I am dedicated to community service, often providing pro bono services.
I have served as the Past-President of the Jacksonville Women Lawyers Association and am a member of the Jacksonville Chapter, D.A.R. My commitment to professional and community organizations extends to my roles as Past President of the Woman's Club of Jacksonville, Chairman of the Heritage Committee, and memberships in the Florida Bar Association, the Jacksonville Bar Association, and the Junior League of Jacksonville. My dedication to my profession and community has been recognized with several accolades including an AV Preeminent Peer Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a Client Champion - GOLD from Martindale-Hubbell, and a 10.0 Superb Rating from Avvo.

- Q. My parents had my name added to the deed of their condo about 6 years ago after their death will it have to go to probat
- A: An attorney would need to look at the deed to see how it was worded before that question can be answered. I would recommend contacting a probate attorney to discuss this further.
- Q. In Florida .What happens with money in bank acct. When act holder dies and beneficiary is also deceased.
- A: You will need to consult with a probate attorney as a small probate will need to be done.
- Q. My uncle passed away and left his home to my grandmother. She has passed away I am her only heir. How do get the house.
- A: It all depends on which probates have and have not been completed. When your uncle passed away, if the home was just in his name then his estate will need to be probated to pass the home to your mother, assuming there is a valid Will or that it would pass to your uncle under the intestate statute of Florida Law. Then you would need to probate your grandmother's estate to pass the home to you, again, assuming she had a valid Will or it would pass to you under the intestate statute. I would suggest contacting a probate attorney to discuss this in more detail.
