An Author’s Legacy: Estate Planning + Family Law for Writers
Pryor Cashman’s Media + Entertainment, Family Law, and Trusts + Estates practices present an invite-only event for publishing professionals (space is limited; if you are interested in attending, please contact Ian Potts at ipotts@pryorcashman.com).
As creators of valuable intellectual property, authors need to be protected by smart trust, estate, and marital law planning. How writers monetize their work, protect their copyrights, and plan for how future rights and revenues will be handled in the event of a divorce (including pre- and post-nuptial agreements) are critical business and personal decisions.
Join our panel of family law, trusts and estates, and entertainment law experts for a discussion of how to structure an author’s estate, with a focus on how to protect literary IP, how to effectively administer a literary estate, and how future challenges can be addressed today.
