The owners of intellectual property assets should make the right preparations in advance so that their heirs and successors can go on earning from those assets. This column provides a discussion between Joanne Penn and attorney Kathryn Goldman about estate planning for independent authors. “Kathryn Goldman is an intellectual property attorney who protects writers, artists, filmmakers and businesses from having their work and art ripped off.” There is both an audio recording of the podcast interview as well as a written transcript.
