Death Is Not an Ending: The Profitable Word of Literary Estates

|
When the famed author of Jurassic Park, Micheal Crichton, died in 2008, he left two unfinished books and a wealth of publishing and media royalties for his estate to earn in practical endless perpetuity. While much of the publishing industry is primarily concerned on new writers and the living, the estates of deceased famous authors can be immensely lucrative to publishing, film and media companies. For instance, the books of Agatha Christie still earn millions of dollars annually. A few of my clients have royalty contracts with traditional publishers, as well as modern publishers, like Amazon. Your book or media royalties may only be earning a few thousand dollars a year, but they still require planning in the event you become incapacitated or pass away.
