Authors Wills and Literary Estates

$0.00 - Members Price

An important issue for authors to think about when drafting their will is what will happen to their literary estate. This resource outlines a variety of issues to consider, including:

  • what happens to your copyright if you don't deal with it in your will
  • how to pass your literary assets to specific beneficiaries
  • whether to appoint a literary executor
  • tangible property like manuscripts, diaries, letters, and books; and
  • intangible property, most importantly copyright and moral rights
  • suggested clauses for your will

This FREE members-only resource is available to download in the Member Resources. Please log in to your ASA account to access this resource.
