Join Attorney Patrick Smith broadcasting live from Stetson University's 54th Annual Patrick L. Smith Model United States Senate! Kicking off with Whitney Houston-level chills on the national anthem, Patrick dives into the heart of this legendary three-day simulation where students from across the country become real U.S. Senators—pushing bills, whipping votes, debating amendments, and mastering Riddick's Rules like pros.

Hear from key players: Dr. David Hill on building careers through Model Senate, student coordinator Serena Dowling on crafting partisan debate gold, first-timer Isabella (as Sen. Joni Ernst) stirring the pot with discharges and deportations, Majority Leader Maddie the Surfer Girl with her NFL-playbook prep, Minority Whip Nate the Great (competitive bodybuilder edition), and alum Amy Trask on her groundbreaking Haven Act heading to the governor.

Plus pop quizzes, procedural chess talk, filibuster history (Strom Thurmond vibes), and why these kids might just out-Senate the real Washington. Legal questions? Call 1-800-771-1025!

Gators in Gotham: NYC Recap, Florida Moves & Legal Movie Mayhem

Join host Attorney Patrick Smith on this lively Saturday edition of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show, where legal expertise meets real-life family drama and current events. The show kicks off with a special news alert on the escalating U.S.-Israel joint military operation against Iran, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," including strikes on Iranian infrastructure and retaliatory missile/drone attacks—prompting listener thoughts on potential U.S. troop involvement, drafts, and global implications.

The core theme is the "All in the Family" edition, diving into Florida-specific legal issues affecting households:
A major update on House Joint Resolution 203 (passed by the Florida House), proposing a phased $100,000 annual increase in homestead exemptions for non-school ad valorem taxes over 10 years, potentially eliminating them entirely by 2037 (pending 60% voter approval in 2026)—great news for middle-class homeowners!
Undue influence in estate planning: How family members can coerce wills/trusts, red flags attorneys watch for, and why ethical lawyers shut down suspicious appointments.
Tortious interference with inheritance: When outsiders (e.g., caregivers or neighbors) fraudulently divert assets like bank accounts to bypass probate.
Disinheriting a child in Florida: You can't "divorce" them, but you can omit adult children with explicit language (while protecting minors under homestead laws).
Cohabitation risks with family: Equitable liens if relatives pay expenses—protect yourself with a proper lease agreement.
Life insurance premiums paid by family: No automatic reimbursement unless named as beneficiary.

Caller spotlights include advice on nursing home negligence leading to bedsores/hospice, family court challenges with false allegations and DCF involvement, contested estate distributions in a large New York will, and reverse mortgage/trust questions for an 80-year-old. Patrick also shares fun bits: correcting a podcast description mishap about "Running Bear" lyrics, praising the team (shout-out to AJ for show titles!), reflecting on last week's mayoral debate success with the "Sweet Caroline" ending, and a small-world encounter at a fundraiser with Sheriff Grady Judd.

Catch the full hour of practical legal insights, listener calls (1-800-771-1025), faith-based encouragement, Gators shout-outs, and Patrick's signature humor. For estate planning consultations, reverse mortgages, family law referrals, or nursing home cases, call the office Monday at 844-PATRICK. Listen live or catch archives at attorneypatricksmith.com or The Bone Online/Bone TV. Next week: Live from New York City!
