From Neverland Ranch to Paisley Park: Lessons from the Estates of Michael Jackson and Prince

The right of publicity has only recently emerged as an important asset that must be considered by estate practitioners when planning for their celebrity clients and administering their estates. How to define, bequeath, and value the right of publicity can have major tax implications, especially when the use of an icon’s name, persona, and likeness produces more income after death than it did during life. In an engaging conversation, experts will discuss the estates of Michael Jackson and Prince and the complex issues surrounding their postmortem right of publicity.
