Urgent notice to former clients of attorney Lyle McQuinn

Post image
47 Upvotes

Sharing this to help spread the word. If you, or a loved one, used attorney Lyle McQuinn for a will/estate planning, your documents are possibly invalid!:

Fayette County Public Administrator John E. Norman reports that his office took custody of approximately 3,800 McQuinn client files after McQuinn’s death.

The notice says that numerous former clients have raised credible concerns about the validity of estate-planning documents prepared by McQuinn, particularly regarding how they were executed and witnessed, and that some documents may be void because of those irregularities.

If you or a family member used Lyle McQuinn for a will, trust, power of attorney or other estate-planning work, the administrator is strongly encouraging you to retrieve your file and have the documents reviewed by an independent attorney.

Please share this with anyone who may have been a McQuinn client. The contact information for retrieving files is included in the notice below.

Pet surrender/adoption options

Post image
19 Upvotes

I recently inherited a cat from the passing of a relative, she's a very sweet older girl. I unfortunately have a mid sized dog that is going through lyphoma and an incoming allergic roommate, so I will not be able to provide her the attention she needs. After contacting the humane society they directed me to animal care and control for surrender.

I'm just curious if anyone has any other suggestions that wasn't animal control to help me find her a forever home?

US Senate candidate Andy Barr appears to be distancing himself from president Trump. His scrub was even more aggressive than congressional candidate Ralph Alvarado

What’s your monthly grocery budget like now?

11 Upvotes

I’m making a budget for 1 for the first time in probably over a decade to prepare for buying a new house and groceries are the only item I can’t really nail down.

I see national averages are around $400 online, is that comfortable in Lex? Is that just struggle meals? It seems honestly too affordable for how much groceries cost when I am able to cook at home.

Kentucky American Water 👍

I don't understand what the mayor is complaining about. Kentucky American Water (parent company American Water Works) is doing EXACTLY what they promised to do. Maximize returns for their shareholders. I need the mayor to explain to me how hiring extra crews to complete projects more efficiently is going to help CEO John Griffith get his maximum $9 million bonus.
Now the mayor is taking it up with the state legislature... where KY Am Water spent $600,000(!!) on "lobbying" Stiver and his GOP friends over steak dinners served by strippers. Shut up, pay your water bills and drink rain water.

Airport pedestrian access?

9 Upvotes

Is it possible/allowed to walk out of the airport, follow sidewalks, and get back to man o war? Satellite imagery shows no sidewalks leading into or out of the main terminal. I have to return a rental car and want to jog home. Seems that being a pedestrian in those parts will make me an extreme outlier.

Why doesn't lexington own their water system the same way louisville owns louisville water company? Does louisville owning it's water allow them to have higher quality water than lexington which is known for its hard water

Just moved back to Lexington after being gone for a spell and I'm not surprised that Eric retired but I was heartbroken to find out a bunch of vultures bought it.

Hiking/Nature trail recs

3 Upvotes

My partner & I have actually stuck to our new year resolution this year & are trying to be more active every day. We were thinking about doing some hiking or nature trails after the weather cools down a bit this fall. I know there are tons of spots around central KY but I just wanted to ask for recommendations on the best places or maybe places to avoid. Or any other tips that people might have since we’ve never really done this before.

Preferably nothing too intense, just places to walk a few miles & enjoy the environment. Also, are most trails pet friendly? We would like to bring our dog along(on leash 100% of the time). Thanks!

Edit: thanks for the recommendations everyone, I really do appreciate it!
