What are rules for subpoena service in Sarasota County FL?
This depends on what type of subpoena it is. It can be served by a sheriff deputy, a process server, an attorney, or yourself if you're handling your own case (pro se). A subpoena is prepared for its purpose. You go to the Clerk's Office to have it stamped with a seal of the Court (this costs about $1), then you have it served. The Sheriff's Office charges about $20 or more and a deputy will serve it for you. A subpoena has the same type of authority as a Summons. The difference between the two is that a Summons is served to a person to appear before a judge, and only if the person is the Defendant. Subpoenae are served to witnesses.

Who takes over when a sheriff dies?
That's an interesting question. In some states, deputy sheriffs serve at the pleasure of the sheriff, and derive their power from him or her. In that case, if the sheriff dies in office, the deputies are technically no longer law enforcement officers until a new sheriff is seated. For that reason, the governor of such states (Florida, for instance) normally has a document ready that temporarily appoints the undersheriff to the sheriff's spot, until a permanent appointment can be made. An emergency call is made to the governor, and he immediately disignates the stand-in. All deputies are automatically deputized as the new sheriff's deputies.
