Literary Wills link (Neil Gaiman's blog)

[livejournal.com profile] liadan_m brought this to my attention during a phone conversation (she takes good care of my adlebrained self), and so I bring it to your attention because I love and adore you all.

After the death of friend John M. Ford, Neil Gaiman got to thinking about the way his friend's literary estate is being handled, and the literary estates of others who died without wills for their writings. Here, Neil Gaiman writes about Litarary Wills, and links to a PDF file created by (I believe) lawyer/writer Les Klinger, along with Klinger's instructions for writers to use the will to care for their intellectual property after death.
