My husband and I just moved to Florida. We had to revise our wills to be in compliance with Florida laws. One of the things that came up was this question, “In the event of my death, or if I should become incapacitated, what happens to all the things I have written that are on my computer, thumb drives, external hard drive, etc.?” I had no idea and frankly, hadn’t given it a lot of thought. I had read an article in my SCBWI newsletter back in the summer of 2015, but I had long since all but forgotten about it. This article is a great one for writers. It covers everything from agreements, royalty payments, to the good old IRS.
It’s one of those things we don’t like to think about, but eventually, we are all going to die. It’s just a matter of when. None of us is promised today, let alone tomorrow. What have you done to prepare for that day?
