Estate Planning Workbook for Visual Artists

In 2015, Joan Mitchell Foundation and Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston partnered to create the Estate Planning Workbook for Visual Artists. This workbook serves as a guide to understanding the components and the need for the basic elements of an estate plan, as well as addressing artist-specific concerns, issues, and opportunities relating to both their physical artwork and their intellectual property.

The workbook includes information on many elements key to estate planning including:

– Legacy vehicles
– Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Proxy, and Living Will
– Choosing your personal representatives
– Copyright
– Elements of your estate
– Talking with an estate planning attorney
