Probate 65%

Probate administration can be necessary to execute a decedent’s estate plan or to administer an estate when a person has died without a will. We have counseled and advised personal representatives and beneficiaries on all matters related to the probate process and have assisted families in the administration of estates of all sizes.

65%
Wills and Living Wills 20%

Through the use of wills, powers of attorney (healthcare and financial), living trusts, revocable and irrevocable trusts, our attorneys can help your family preserve wealth for future generations and potentially avoid probate administration.

20%
Estate Planning 10%

Estate planning is an important service offered by our firm. Estate planning is the process by which you designate how your assets should be managed in the event you are incapacitated and how your assets should be distributed at your death. Careful estate planning can minimize expenses at the time of death and ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

COMPASSIONATE, SINCERE, INTELLIGENT & PROFESSIONAL

If you are looking for the best lawyer in the state of Fl., then you have found her in Live Oak. Last year, I had an unfortunate life event. My father passed away and 3 weeks later, my brother unexpectedly passed away. To say the least, I was an emotional wreck. It was then that my husband took contr...ol of the situation and went searching for an attorney 250 miles away from where we live. First off, no one in Live Oak would even talk to us w/o a consulting fee… Who does that! Well, I can tell you that Rosie doesn’t!!! As soon as we explained our situation to Rosie, you could feel her compassion and sincerity for our loss. We immediately knew we had the right person/lawyer. A professional person that express true empathy for families that are suffering in grief, is a rare find and Rosie is that person. We immediately knew we had the right Lawyer!!! Rosie accepted the case and went to work immediately. She sent us information on the sequence of events that would occur and informed us of our responsibilities but not to worry because she will be there to help us through it. I couldn’t believe how accurate she was! She was Incredible! This was a complicated case, at least in our opinion and at no point were we ever concerned or wondered what was happening. She just made everything very simple for us! She is truly an exceptional lawyer and better yet, an amazing person, inside and out!!! A true diamond in the ruff! Thanks for everything Rosie!!!

Amazing support and attention to detail

Handling estate issues can be a daunting task when a relative passes away. In my case, I lived many states away and didn't have any experience with these kind of issues. I also had a new baby which left me with little time and feeling overwhelmed. Rose Chauncey went above and beyond to not only walk ...me through the process, but to also handle every little detail. She even went above and beyond by doing some of the leg work to fulfill some of the estate needs in town since I couldn't travel. She was also very quick to respond to any questions I had or if I needed some advice on how to do something. The overall experience was amazing. I WISH she lived in my town/state so she could handle ALL of my legal needs! She was so easy and friendly to work with and completely thorough and detail-oriented.

exceeded expectations !!!!

This Lawyer was recommended to us by a friend of mine in the Estate/Probate area. She exceeded our expectations and fulfilled our outcome. She kept us in the loop with phone calls and meetings. She listened to our concerns and guided us to our destination. We are now looking to have her do our will. ...She is very insightful in her area and very good at foreseeing outcomes of responding. Thank you Rose Decker Chauncey for representing us !!!
