Don't Leave a Mess For Your Family - The Fate of Your Podcast After You Die
Episode 1002
The past year we've lost some great people in the podcasting family. Neil Guilarte and Todd Cochrane both died suddenly with no warning. If you're not prepared, you leave your family in a lurch adding to the stress of your passing. I bring on The Podcast Lawyer Gordon Firemark to explain some of the ins and outs (Gordon doesn't do wills and such, but can explain the process). As law change based on location you may want to hire someone locally, or use an online tool that adjusts to your location.
Takeaways:
- If you don't have a will, your podcast may not end up where you want it to.
- Dying without instructions for your podcast can lead to chaos for your family.
- Setting up a will or a plan for your podcast is just plain smart business.
- Don't wait until it's too late; get your podcast plans in order now.
- Having a podcast prenup can save your loved ones from a lot of headaches later.
- Make sure your family knows how to access your podcast info if you suddenly vanish.
