“To adopt a child is a great work of love. When it is done, much is given, but much is also received. It is a true exchange of gifts.” — Pope Saint John Paul II

What type of matters are heard in Chancery Court?

Chancery Court is a court of specific jurisdiction, that is to say it only hears matters assigned to it by law. Mississippi law places in Chancery Court jurisdiction over matters involving equity; domestic matters like adoptions, custody disputes, and divorce; guardianships, sanity hearings; wills; and constitutional challenges to state law. Chancery Judges, also called Chancellors, typically serve as fact-finders; however, in some instances, litigants may request a jury. Baucum Law Firm, PLLC has an ever-growing Chancery practice, boosted by an ever-growing wealth of experience in the courts of Jones County and the surrounding areas. If you, a family member, or friend are facing a legal issue that is heard in Chancery Court, contact Baucum Law Firm, PLLC for a free consultation!

Today marks TWO YEARS of serving our home town!

On September 14, 2020, I took a leap of faith and hung the proverbial shingle. I started Baucum Law Firm, PLLC with the goal of providing effective, diligent legal representation. It is wild to think that this operation started with a page and a "virtual office." I am so grateful to the Jones County Bar Association, the Mississippi Bar, my clients, and the local business community - all who have supported me over the last two years. The work I have been able to do as a solo practitioner is a dream come true - from serving as a Guardian ad Litem for the Chancery Court to representing clients in Jones, Jasper, Forrest, Lamar, Marion, and Covington Counties. I have worked with small business owners and parents, land owners and immigrants - all right here in Laurel. Most recently, I’ve begun assembling a top team, starting with my great assistant, Amanda Hohol - who has helped elevate the firm to a new level. Thank you to each of you who have been along for the ride. I cannot wait to tell ya’ll what is next.

All my love,

Zeke

When is a Conservatorship or Guardianship appropriate?

Mississippi law permits the creation of a Conservatorship or Guardianship when the Ward (person to be placed under said conservatorship or guardianship) is unable to competently care for himself or his affairs. All relevant parties, including the ward, are entitled to notice and the Petitioner (person seeking conservatorship or guardianship) must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the Ward requires one. These matters are difficult and incredibly fact specific. If you have a loved one who has reached a point in life where they need extra help, contact BLF for a free consultation!
