I’ve heard Ford’s name mentioned as a frontrunner to be the Dem nominee for Governor in ’26. It’ll be interesting to see how this fake elector prosecution plays out & whether it helps or hurts his chances to move up in the political ranks within the Silver State.
Zero chance that Ford gets the nod in 2026. Even if he does, it will be as a Democrat sacrificial lamb to slide into obscurity after losing. I am not aware of a single Democrat politician in the State with the influence to beat Lombardo. All Joe has to do is keep shit from blowing up and he will get a second term.
Nevada voters are fickle bitches. Screw it up (or preside over a badly managed catastrophe) and you’re gone.
If he wants it, I think Jim Gibson could take Lombardo down. Gibson would poll strong in Clark County and speaks the language of the rurals better than Lombardo.
That’s a big “if”. I question whether any lifelong Las Vegan / Hendertuckian (especially someone like Gibson who will be 78 years old in 2026) would want to move north to Carson City for a fairly thankless job.
I am of the opinion that only bad attorneys make bad clients. I have represented both good attorneys and bad ones. The good attorneys know what they don’t know and trust that they hired the right counsel, win or lose and the bad ones think that they know everything and blame everyone but themselves.

Question for you probate people. I do the occasional probates, but never contested or complicated cases. I have a quick question about a situation I haven’t seen before. Okay, so we have a set aside, the estate consists of a home. (really a trailer that is worth very little) That’s it. Medicaid has made a claim on the estate. Per the statute, this claim has precedence over the beneficiary of the estate. (A grown son who is not blind.) Will the Court still approve the petition with the direction that the estate be “set aside” first to medicaid and then the son? Do I need to file an errata to the petition saying, that medicaid should be paid and the rest passed to my client? How does this work practically? Does Medicaid just get an lien on the home? Does my client get the house and assume the liability to medicaid? Thank you in advance.
Medicaid claim will have to be satisfied before title can pass to the son. If there’s no cash in the estate, he’s going to have to pony up his own cash to pay the claim, or he’s going to have to sell the house in probate in order to pay the claim (which you obviously won’t be able to do in a set aside, you’ll need a summary). If son pays the claim, get a Notice of Satisfaction of Claim from Medicaid and file it before the hearing.
The current platform does not allow comments by topic. A reader may not wish to read through the entire list of comments to comment on one of the topics about which the reader is interested. It would be helpful to have topical heading under which a comment could be made.
Thanks
Bold of you to assume that most of the folks who comment here would adhere to topic restrictions. I mean, we can barely keep it to the topics in the heading, let alone SHINY!
In what grammatical model would one criticize another poster but leave spaces before and after a slash mark when being used for alternatives between only two words? Glass house residents should leave their rocks on the ground.
I prefer the spaces and don’t believe that they affect grammar / word choice. Especially in the context of the “is / are” example above.
Feel free to point me to the rule that says that such spaces are inappropriate.
Not that I will actually GAF / change my practice / agree with you. But I suspect there is no such rule outside a potential bullshit “bluebook citations” we learned in law school in the 90s.

Mildly amusing story. Leaving law no luck with law on resume so I artfully leave it off. Go to interview yesterday n guy goes off on area related to the job n the blood sucking lawyers hahaha
I speculate Ford didn’t plan to do a damn thing until the NV Dems threatened to abandon him.

I’m not 78, but I’ve been to Carson City and cannot imagine living there.
What do you think, are attorneys the worst clients?

I don’t do probate, but you should check if the manufactured house was ever affixed/converted to real property.
If not, it’s personal property, not real property (not sure how much that affects the medicaid/probate case though)
Medicaid claim will have to be satisfied before title can pass to the son. If there’s no cash in the estate, he’s going to have to pony up his own cash to pay the claim, or he’s going to have to sell the house in probate in order to pay the claim (which you obviously won’t be able to do in a set aside, you’ll need a summary).

There is 10 comments today. Are you truly having a TL;DR issue with 10 comments?

Is it really too much to ask for some subject / verb agreement in this forum?
Yes.

No one will hire a former attorney!!! Good for you for figuring that out. NO ONE will get a non-law job with a JD on your resume, just leave it off.
Why is that? They are afraid the employee will wind up suing them? Something else? Too much “thinking like a lawyer”?
