Kathryn Goldman writes–
“An additional benefit to copyright registration is that it makes planning for the proper succession of your works just a bit easier.
The registration certificate gives substance to something that otherwise might just be considered a digital file on your computer or in your KDP account. It’s one of those important documents you hear so much about that belongs in a safe deposit box with your other important papers.–“

When I made my will about a year and a half ago, I hadn’t considered any of this. Thanks for the heads up. Lots of unfinished and / or unpublished work in my stash. 🙂

Kathryn says to “include your unpublished and even your unfinished manuscripts, as well.” Oh, I have plenty of those!
It is far too early for me to think about this sort of thing, but hopefully I will remember–should it ever become relevant–that there is such a thing as estate planning for your bereaved words.
