Legacy Planning

Creating and Preserving Wealth for Generations

Legacy and Business Succession Planning for Authors, Artists, and Creative Entrepreneurs

From safeguarding intellectual property and enforcing rights against infringement to negotiating posthumous licensing deals and book-to-screen adaptations, we help ensure that a creative legacy is protected, preserved, and positioned for future generations.

Estate Planning + Creative Legacy

We specialize in creating legends in the entertainment industry, along with protecting that legacy for the next generation.

Entertainers and artists are unique in that their estate contains intellectual property, rights of publicity, digital replicas, and copyrights that can benefit their heirs for many years.

As an entertainment attorney and author, Tisha Morris understands the specialized needs in drafting trusts and estate plans, as well as representing estates.

Tisha can advise on your business succession and the best way to carry on your legacy and the potential need for a literary executor or literary trustee to oversee past and future works.

With experience in both estate planning and entertainment law, we offer comprehensive support for managing and monetizing literary and artist estates.

Why Legacy and Business Succession Planning is Essential

  • To protect creative works from being lost, misused, or exploited after death

  • To ensure the artist’s voice and vision are honored beyond their lifetime

  • To empower artists to treat their creative legacy as a lasting business
    by building structures for ongoing revenue from books, music, and other IP.

  • To help heirs and beneficiaries understand and manage valuable intellectual property instead of letting it sit dormant—or worse, fall into the wrong hands.

  • To give creative entrepreneurs peace of mind about who will carry on their legacy through trusts, business succession plans, or appointed literary executors.

  • To prevent family disputes over rights, royalties, and decision-making
    by putting clear legal plans in place before it’s too late.

  • To support new generations of artists in building multi-generational wealth through licensing, catalog sales, or carefully managed brand extensions.
