Estate Planning for Authors
Estate plans exist to protect your assets and provide for your beneficiaries. A copyright is designed to do the same; that’s why the life of a copyright is 70 years past the life of the author. This presentation will teach you what comprises an estate plan and how your copyright fits into it, so that your copyright can continue to provide value even after you’re no longer able to manage it.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn the basics of an estate plan, including the difference between a will and a trust
- Learn the basics of copyrights as they relate to estate planning
- Learn how you can incorporate your copyrights into your estate plan
