Does anyone know if there is a way to regain publishing after the publisher dies?? In addition he owed me some royalties. There was no provision in the contract.Thanks,Andy

The rights he owned or leased are part of his estate, unless he incorporated. (if he was sole owner of an incorporated biz, the same would most likely apply) You're probably in limbo 'til the estate clears probate. You might be able to buy back your rights, if you can find out who the executor is-should be public record. I am not a lawyer.

Yikes. Weird situation. I will certainly be following THIS thread. (...even though I talk BAD about those people who slow down to look at a car crash...)Hope this resolves itself quickly and smoothly, Andy.Ted

Thanks! Hard to believe I needed to put in a "dead Scotty" clause!Andy

uh...what...Blume's explanation wasn't good enough? Claire

now now! You bet it was....never hurts to make sure (YOU suggested it! lol)

well good luck with D.S. and have a blast in Vegas - did you guys know that Andy was one of the 5 winners of the Broadjam "Win A Date With A Publisher" contest and will be attending the ACM awards show and assorted private concerts this weekend? yay!!!Claire

Wow D.S. impressive!!! Sorry about the dead publisher thing...weird....but congrats on the date!!Andy
