A Visual Artist’s Guide to Estate Planning
“A Visual Artist’s Guide to Estate Planning is a comprehensive handbook designed to assist artists in planning their estates.” The free 183-page PDF book is based on a conference co-sponsored by The Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation and The Judith Rothschild Foundation. The book covers such topics as Why do I need a Will? What should be done with my art work? What is important to save? How can I make sure my work continues to be seen?
I am not an attorney, but years ago I worked in a law firm and was involved in estate planning. I am impressed and grateful for the helpful information supplied in this book, including a sample will, health care proxy, power of attorney, and so on. It’s a good foundation for thought and planning, and it reminds me to get my papers in order.
