I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. 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 educational journey began at Riverside Presbyterian Day School, followed by The Bolles School. I am married to Cameron Naugle, who owns Naugle Funeral Home, and together we have two children, Abigail and Logan, who bring immense joy to our lives.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University in 1998, followed by a Juris Doctorate from Stetson University College of Law and an M.B.A. from Stetson University School of Business Administration, both in 2001. Since then, I have been practicing law and currently run 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 legal practice focuses on Estate planning, which includes the preparation of Revocable Living Trusts and Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Surrogate Designations, and Living Wills, as well as handling Probate matters. I am often invited to speak to community groups about estate planning and probate issues and am committed to giving back to the community by regularly donating my time to pro bono clients.
In addition to my professional commitments, I have held the position of Past President at both the Jacksonville Women Lawyers Association and the Woman's Club of Jacksonville. I am also the Chairman of the Heritage Committee and a member of the Florida Bar Association, the Jacksonville Bar Association, and the Junior League of Jacksonville.

- 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.
