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-nup al 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 e?ectively administer a literary estate, and how future challenges can be addressed today.
