Don't miss our latest episode of TFE Talks! 🎙️
In this episode, Jordan Goewey and Mira Prisco discuss why it is crucial to clearly define “children” and “descendants” in estate planning documents, especially for long-term trusts and multigenerational plans. They explore how blended families, adoption, IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, posthumous children, and out-of-wedlock births can complicate who is legally considered an heir. The conversation explains typical default definitions used in their South Carolina-based practice, including age limits for adopted children, handling adult adoptions, timing rules for posthumous births, and modern approaches to establishing paternity.

"I know my family. I don't need to spell it out."

It's one of the most common assumptions in estate planning, and one of the most dangerous.

In the latest episode of TFE Talks, Jordan Goewey and Mira Prisco explain why the legal definition of "children" and "descendants" in your estate documents may not match the family you actually have in mind.

They walk through the scenarios that catch people off guard:

→ Blended families and stepchildren
→ Adopted children, and why age at adoption matters
→ Adult adoptions and the potential for inheritance abuse
→ Children born through IVF or other assisted reproductive technologies
→ Posthumous children and the use of genetic material after death
→ Out-of-wedlock children and how paternity is legally established

The law doesn't automatically see your family the way you do. And for long-term trusts and multigenerational plans, an undefined or outdated term can lead to real disputes among the people you love most.

Does your business work with independent contractors? 🚨

Misclassifying a worker as a 1099 contractor when they should be a W-2 employee, or vice versa, can create serious tax and legal headaches for business owners. And the IRS has a lot of opinions about where that line falls.

Don't miss this episode of TFE Talks, where Jordan and Ben give a practical framework every business owner can use:

✅ Decide what the relationship is
✅ Document it clearly
✅ Operate consistently with that agreement

NEW EPISODE! 🎙️

1099 or W-2? It's one of the most common questions business owners get wrong, and the consequences can follow you for years.

In the newest episode of TFE Talks, Jordan Goewey and Ben Ferris break down the real rules of worker classification and what's actually at stake when businesses get it wrong.

They cover:
→ What the IRS and Department of Labor actually look for
→ Why "control" over day-to-day work is the central question
→ How equipment, workspace, and payment structure factor in
→ Why a written agreement alone isn't enough; you have to operate consistently with it
→ How misclassification can surface and hurt you in a future business sale

Their framework is simple: Decide. Document. Follow.

If your business uses contractors, this episode is worth 20 minutes of your time.

In the latest episode of TFE Talks, shareholders Jordan Goewey and Matt Edwards pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and highest-stakes sections of any business purchase agreement: indemnification provisions.

They break down:

→ What reps and warranties actually mean for sellers
→ How indemnification works as an insurance policy for buyers
→ The negotiating levers sellers should know (baskets, caps, time limits)
→ How holdbacks and escrows put your money on the line post-closing
→ Why these terms should be on the table at the Letter of Intent stage — not at the finish line

The purchase price is only part of the picture. Understanding your ongoing liability after closing could be just as important.
