IP, AI, & Personality Rights Issues in Estate Planning

As the legal landscape evolves, so does the definition of a client’s legacy. In a world where intellectual property, performance rights, and digital personas can generate value – and controversy – long after death, modern estate lawyers must be equipped to address a new class of assets. This seminar with experienced estates lawyer Dan Nelson and entertainment lawyer Emma Chapple offers a timely look at the intersection of estate law, intellectual property, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. Designed primarily for estate and trust lawyers, it is also highly relevant for any practitioner whose clients include influencers, artists, entrepreneurs, or everyday individuals with online identities – all of which raise complex questions about ownership, control, and use after death. Dan and Emma will share practical guidance on:

• IP and personality rights after death
• Drafting strategies for IP and personality rights in wills and trusts
• Best practices for protecting and transferring creative assets
• Legal parameters around AI-generated recreations of voice, image, and performance
• Risks and ethical considerations

Issues relating to IP and personality rights are no longer limited to celebrities or high-profile estates. Join us and gain the tools and insight you need to develop legally sound, forward-thinking strategies to help your clients protect and plan for their full legacy.
