From the heart of the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, Attorney Patrick Smith delivers another fast-paced hour of real law and real fun. Joined by local attorney Greg Hauer, this episode dives deep into Nebraska estate planning — comparing it to Florida’s complex world of probate, trusts, homestead protections, and why a simple transfer-on-death deed might be a “band-aid” while a full trust offers the real protection.

Plus, the latest on Florida’s potential homestead property tax changes and why reviewing your estate plan every three years (or sooner) is non-negotiable.

Whether you’re snowbirding between states or just love wild legal stories, this episode proves one thing: plan ahead, or your estate might fund daily rose deliveries for decades.

Call 800-771-1025 with your legal questions and tune in next week. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Attorney Patrick Smith kicks off with a heartfelt D-Day tribute (June 6, 1944) and the Andrews Sisters’ classic “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” honoring the Greatest Generation before diving into the wildest estate administrations you’ll ever hear.

From a millionaire leaving millions for 150 stray dogs, to a Portuguese aristocrat picking heirs from the phone book, a womanless library (yes, really), ashes buried in a Pringles can, and a philosopher who wanted to be stuffed and displayed at meetings — these eccentric wills prove truth is stranger than fiction. Patrick unpacks why some succeed and others get struck down, with plenty of “you can’t make this up” moments.

Plus: Lexi the Intern’s triumphant return and induction as the first-ever Attorney Patrick Smith Show Hall of Fame member, a fresh scam alert on fake “your family member is arrested” calls, Maddie the Surfer Girl crushing the after-show, progress on the Florida Homestead Law Review article, and a major legislative update — the proposed constitutional amendment to dramatically expand (or eliminate) homestead property taxes heads to voters in November.

Patrick fields reverse mortgage questions while reminding everyone: plan ahead, or your estate might fund a daily rose delivery for decades (Jack Benny style).

Real stories. Real law. Real chaos. Heart and soul on the airwaves — tune in, call 800-771-1025, and stay safe. God bless, and Go Gators!

In this episode of the Attorney Patrick Smith Show, Attorney Patrick Smith dives deep into the complicated world of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in Florida — what makes them enforceable, what can invalidate them, and why more couples than ever are using them to protect family assets, inheritances, and financial futures. Patrick breaks down real Florida law, key legal requirements, famous celebrity prenup disasters, and landmark cases like Casto v. Casto that continue shaping family law today.

The show also explores real-world divorce and property disputes during live listener calls, including questions about mortgages, marital settlement agreements, and property rights after divorce. Patrick explains how courts evaluate fairness, disclosure, coercion, and financial transparency when determining whether a prenup or postnup will stand up in court.

Later in the episode, Patrick is joined by Florida State Senator Jonathan Martin for an in-depth conversation about Governor Ron DeSantis’ proposed plan to eliminate Florida homestead property taxes. They discuss the constitutional implications, how the proposal could affect homeowners across Florida, and why the issue may become one of the most important ballot initiatives in state history.

Plus, the show wraps up with a look at current Major League Baseball litigation involving the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field rooftop owners, highlighting the fascinating intersection of sports, intellectual property, and business law.

Whether you’re planning a marriage, protecting your assets, navigating divorce, or simply interested in Florida law and policy, this episode delivers practical legal insight with humor, personality, and real-world examples.

Buckle up for the fastest, funniest legal hour on radio as Attorney Patrick Smith takes on the wild world of Sovereign Citizens and Squatters — two groups united by their firm belief that rules are optional.

From a Clearwater traffic stop where Sergeant Curtis shows saint-level patience asking for a license seven times while the driver insists he’s “traveling” (not driving), to a courtroom meltdown with Magistrate Ward Harshbarger counting to three like an exhausted parent before contempt cuffs come out — these interactions are pure radio gold. Patrick breaks down why these pseudo-legal tactics never work, from fake tags and “American National” claims to unauthorized practice of law (a third-degree felony, folks — Google Law degrees come with risks).

Then we pivot to squatters: the A&E series Squatters featuring Flash Shelton (great name) and his creative eviction methods, including reptile therapy to encourage an uncooperative occupant to leave. Florida law strongly favors owners — seven years of continuous occupation + paying taxes for adverse possession? Good luck with that.

Plus: Maddie the Surfer Girl’s killer after-show, Patrick’s Walmart flash drive rescue mission (thanks Bob & EZE!), 23 years of marriage wisdom, progress on the Florida Homestead Law Review article, and Gators baseball predictions (10-7 over Georgia, naturally).

Real law. Real chaos. Real laughs. If you’ve ever wanted to know how not to handle a traffic stop or protect your property from unwanted guests, this episode delivers.

Call 800-771-1025 with your sovereign stories or squatter nightmares. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

It’s a full-crew Saturday on the Attorney Patrick Smith Show — and yes, we had to restart the intro because “Love Is on the Line” showed up instead of “Hold On to What You Got.” Classic live radio chaos, but we stuck the landing like pros (Spike’s brave attempt at hitting the post is comedy gold).

Attorney Patrick Smith dives deep into trust funding — the make-or-break step that turns your revocable trust from expensive paper into actual protection. Learn which assets go in (bank accounts, homesteads, rentals, LLCs), which stay out (IRAs, life insurance, 401ks — with wild exceptions for minors and special needs), why POD/TOD designations aren’t enough, and the sacred homestead rules that can derail everything if you’re not careful. Maddie the Surfer Girl (fresh off her Religious Studies/Political Science award) nails the spousal joinder question like the TA she is.

Then we crack open the vault for a fan-favorite Sovereign Citizen remix set to “Walking on Sunshine” (complete with tasing, “I don’t talk to cops with glasses,” and pure radio gold). We tease next week’s epic episode on Sovereign Citizens + Squatters, take a real call from “not a sovereign citizen” Tom, and debate whether these folks have monthly meetings and cool flags.

Maddie the Surfer Girl delivers another Surf’s Up segment with headline-worthy legal drama: Dua Lipa suing Samsung for $15M over unauthorized image use, Miami cops suing Matt Damon & Ben Affleck, Taylor Swift fighting a “showgirl” trademark claim, and a family suing OpenAI after the FSU shooting. Plus, we roast Disney’s weirdest rules (no adult costumes, no real Snow White claims, balloon bans at Animal Kingdom) and celebrate Maddie’s huge announcement — she’s launching the official post-show recap! The Attorney Patrick Smith Show will never be the same.

Fishing triumphs, Gators predictions, ABBA-loving Maddie, and zero hesitation on funding that trust before it’s too late. Real stories, real law, real fun — with a side of sovereign citizen entertainment.

Call 800-771-1025 with your trust funding questions (or sovereign stories) and tune in next week. Heart and soul on the airwaves. Stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Happy Mother’s Day! Attorney Patrick Smith fires up the Mother’s Day edition with Extreme’s “Mutha,” hot sauce tasting (Rick Daddy’s Small Batch Smokey Hot — flavor 7, heat 4, guaranteed sinus clearance), and plenty of heartfelt wishes to all the moms tuning in.

This week we break down everything you need to know about Small Claims Court in Florida (the $8,000 people’s court special, where you can be your own lawyer, serve papers like in the movies, and maybe mediate before trial). Caller Walt delivers the ultimate story: a charity hockey “tussle” ends with a steroid-fueled firefighter headbutt, a broken nose, $5k in damages, dropped criminal charges, and now a small claims mission. Patrick’s advice? File in the right county and consider switching to checkers.

Plus: Traditional vs. Roth 401(k) smackdown (Isaiah the Magnificent drops Dave Ramsey wisdom), how to restore your maiden name post-divorce (easier than a full name change — no fingerprints needed), estate planning name update tips, and a lively debate on the greatest TV moms of all time (Carol Brady, Claire Huxtable, Sophia Petrillo, Aunt B, and June Cleaver all get love).

We also celebrate the show’s upcoming 5th anniversary, shout out the incredible blind board op Hal (aka the Daredevil of Sun City Center), tease Maddie the Surfer Girl’s big announcement next week, and remind everyone why you should sign up for those free estate plan reviews every three years.

Real heart, real law, real laughs — and zero hesitation on finishing that second bowl of nuclear chili. Tune in for the fastest, smartest, funniest legal hour on radio. Call 800-771-1025 with your small claims war stories, favorite TV mom, or legal questions.

Heart and soul on the airwaves. Stay safe, God bless, Go Gators, and happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms!

Grab your margaritas (responsibly) and join Attorney Patrick Smith for a Cinco de Mayo-fueled ride on the fastest hour on radio. We kick things off with the real story behind May 5th (not Mexican Independence Day—it's the underdog victory at Puebla in 1862), rain-proof party plans with a food truck and tent, and Spike sending the show off the rails before it even starts with "Deed Frotten."

This episode dives deep into deed fraud (yes, people coming home from grocery shopping to find strangers living in their paid-off house—Brooklyn horror stories meet Florida prevention tips: sign up for those free 67-county property alerts that notify you in 24 hours!). We break down timeshares like a bad vacation regret—Florida's 10-day cooling-off period (written notice, certified mail, no take-backs on the salesperson pitch), deed-backs with full release, and why you probably shouldn't leave one to your kids.

Plus: Nine shiny new Florida laws from Governor DeSantis (church security volunteers, porch pirate penalties, organized retail theft crackdowns, boating safety, and more), trust administration 101 (who gets invited to the "reading," step-up in basis magic for taxes, and why inheritances aren't income), gun rights restoration after old felonies, rental property succession planning, Medicaid nimble trusts for nursing home worries, and a heartfelt note heading into Mother's Day.

We're #1 in talk and climbing the Tampa Bay ranks (goal: pass the Dove!), bringing back the legendary "Oh Hi There" update videos in the original pink polo (fan club drama included—Instagram shadowban story is chef's kiss), and taking your calls with wisdom, wit, and zero judgment. Real stories. Real law. Real fun. (And Easy-E filling in magnificently for Isaiah.)

Tune in, call 800-771-1025 with your deed theft, timeshare horror, or stump-the-lawyer tales, and protect what you've built. Heart and soul on the airwaves—stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Buckle up for the fastest hour on radio—where Journey hits play, AI hallucinations turn last week's jet ski medevac drama into a Hollywood trailer, and your host, Attorney Patrick Smith, drops real talk on what you wish you knew before becoming an executor (thanks, Kylie: creditors, taxes, mortgages at ~6.3%, and why probate is basically a slow-motion nightmare).

This week: a fresh Florida Highway Safety text scam that screams "mandatory final notice" (spoiler: delete it faster than Isaiah grabs show prep five minutes before airtime), a listener challenge that hands out a free $695 trust package for the craziest/stump-the-lawyer question (Victor nearly triggered the gift tax with $75K into his 24-year-old's account—annual exclusion is still $19K, folks!), digital asset tips for your crypto empire, and why you should review your estate plan every three years (or sooner when life throws curveballs like name changes and new responsibilities).

Plus: Vern Hendricks dropping in fresh from retirement with his "About the Town" podcast (and his wife Elisa's legendary goodwill tours), and enough heart-and-soul legal advice to keep your family protected without the drama. Real stories. Real law. Real fun. (And zero co-hosts answering legal questions—they're not licensed, folks.)

Whether you're dodging probate, spotting scams, or just here for the banter and Gators shoutouts, call in at 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves—tune in, call in, and stay safe (and off the midnight train to bad estate planning).
