COVERING MISTAKES & MYTHS #30-49:

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SUCCESSION

MYTH #30: “I own the brand/IP personally - it’s not part of the business estate.”

MYTH #30: “I own the brand/IP personally — it’s not part of the business estate.”

Issue: IRS includes all IP owned or controlled by the decedent.

Code:

IRC §2031 includes all intangible property with value, including copyrights, patents, and trademarks.

Case:

In Thompson v. Comm., personally held IP used by the company was included in the estate and taxed.

Conclusion:

Assign IP to a trust or licensing structure. Don’t commingle personal IP and business operations.

MYTH #31: “Once I register my trademark or copyright, I’m fully protected.”

🔹 Issue: Registration gives legal rights — but not financial protection or estate planning.

🔹 Code: IRC §2031 – All valuable assets, including registered IP, are included in the estate.

🔹 Case: In Steinberg v. U.S., the estate was taxed on intangible rights that weren’t properly transferred out.

✅ Conclusion: Registering is step one. Next, assign IP to a trust or IP-holding company to protect from estate tax and probate.

MYTH #32: “My copyrights and royalties pass to my heirs automatically.”

🔹 Issue: IP doesn’t pass by default. It must be transferred properly or it goes through probate.

🔹 Code: Copyright Act §204 + IRC §2033 – IP is treated like any other property at death.

🔹 Case: In Estate of Prince, decades-long probate tied up control of IP rights and future revenue.

✅ Conclusion: Use specific assignments, licensing terms, and succession plans for copyrights and royalties.

MYTH #33: “If I own the patent, the business gets to use it automatically.”

🔹 Issue: If the patent is in your personal name and not licensed properly, it causes income and tax issues later.

🔹 Code: IRC §2036 – Retained use or benefit brings the asset back into the estate.

🔹 Case: In Thompson v. Commissioner, IRS included personally held IP used in the business because there was no formal license agreement.

✅ Conclusion: Use formal licensing agreements from IP-holding structures to operating entities. Don’t blur personal + business ownership.

MYTH #34: “The LLC owns my IP, so I’m protected.”

🔹 Issue: If you control the LLC and its income, the IRS can pull it into your estate.

🔹 Code: IRC §2038 – Power to revoke or change = estate inclusion.

🔹 Case: In Powell v. Commissioner, ownership and control via LLC failed to remove value from the estate.

✅ Conclusion: Use irrevocable trusts or IP-holding companies, and limit personal control to reduce estate tax risk.

MYTH #35: “I can just put my IP into a revocable trust and be done.”

🔹 Issue: Revocable trusts don’t remove value from your estate — only from probate.

🔹 Code: IRC §2038 – Revocable transfers = includable for estate tax.

🔹 Case: In Estate of German, assets in revocable trust were taxed fully because the grantor had full control.

✅ Conclusion: For tax minimization, use irrevocable structures and relinquish control. Revocable = included.

MYTH #36: “IP isn’t worth enough to plan for.”

🔹 Issue: Even low-income IP (like books, online courses, or trademarks) may appreciate rapidly or generate long-term royalties.

🔹 Code: IRC §2031 – Valuation is based on FMV at death, not just current income.

🔹 Case: In Estate of Jackson (Michael Jackson), IP valuation was heavily contested and resulted in a massive audit and years of litigation.

✅ Conclusion: Get IP appraisals, especially for anything that earns passive income or has viral/growth potential.

MYTH #37: “I don’t need a valuation for my trademark — I’m not selling it.”

🔹 Issue: IRS may assign value at death using their own assumptions if you don’t.

🔹 Code: IRC §2031(b) – Fair market value includes goodwill, name recognition, and future income potential.

🔹 Case: In Estate of Cecil v. Commissioner, IRS increased the value of a private company due to brand goodwill and reputation.

✅ Conclusion: Obtain independent IP valuations for trademarks and brand assets before death or gifting.

MYTH #38: “If I leave my IP to my kids, they can just collect royalties.”

🔹 Issue: Royalties may be taxed as income and also counted as estate assets if not structured correctly.

🔹 Code: IRC §§2031 + §691 (income in respect of a decedent)

🔹 Case: In Estate of Steinberg, the IRS included expected future royalty streams in the estate's valuation.

✅ Conclusion: Create licensing structures with fixed terms and separate legal entities to manage royalty flow

MYTH #39: “I can gift my IP informally to avoid taxes.”

🔹 Issue: IRS needs documentation, appraisal, and a gift tax return to respect a transfer.

🔹 Code: IRC §2511 + §2701 – Transfers of valuable IP must be reported and valued.

🔹 Case: In Church v. U.S., lack of documentation caused the gift to be taxed as part of the estate.

✅ Conclusion: File Form 709, appraise the asset, and record the assignment. Informal transfers are ignored.

MYTH #40: “IP can’t be taxed if I die - it’s intangible.”

MYTH #40: “IP can’t be taxed if I die — it’s intangible.”

🔹 Issue: IP is one of the most valuable and taxable forms of wealth, especially when it earns.

🔹 Code: IRC §2031 – All real, personal, and intangible property is includable.

🔹 Case: In Estate of Whitney Houston, music catalog and likeness were valued and taxed posthumously — with no structure in place.

✅ Conclusion: Protect IP with irrevocable trusts, charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), or foundations if you want to reduce estate tax and build legacy.

MYTH #41: “Even celebrities with top-tier lawyers are immune to probate chaos.”

🔹 Issue: Handwritten, outdated, or conflicting wills left behind—even by iconic figures—can tie up estates for years.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Aretha Franklin died with no formal will. In 2019, four handwritten documents were found—two dated 2010 and another in 2014 discovered under couch cushions. Michigan law allowed the 2014 document (just four pages, signed with a smiley face) to be deemed valid by a jury, overriding the notarized 2010 version. Estate litigation involving $80M in assets dragged on for years. Wikipedia+9Vanity Fair+9Smith Strong, PLC+9Axios+9brmmlaw.com+9Pitchfork+9

✅ Conclusion: Informal or conflicting documents are courts’ playgrounds—not your legacy. A clear, updated trust and legal will in force are essential.

MYTH #42: “Digital brands and content income are automatic legacy assets.”

🔹 Issue: When digital channels or online content aren’t formally transferred, heirs may lose control or revenue—even if assets are high value.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Grant Thompson (The King of Random) died suddenly in 2019. Without advance estate or digital planning, his family struggled to access his YouTube assets and monetize the channel. Despite millions in subscribers, management issues and platform disputes delayed legacy monetization. Legacy.com+4Yahoo+4Reddit+4

✅ Conclusion: Add camera rights, platform access, licensing permission, and channel ownership to your trust. Otherwise, your digital empire is effectively unplanned.

MYTH #43: “A will automatically protects a real estate business.”

🔹 Issue: Real estate held via LLCs or trusts still passes through probate if held in personal name or not properly titled.

🔹 Outcome: Multiple cases show that asset management freezes, tenant issues, and missed income become reality when a will—not a trust—governs transfer.

✅ Conclusion: Don’t rely on wills. Use LLCs held in funded trusts or Transfer-On-Death deeds to keep real estate operative and out of court.

MYTH #44: “Your personal brand (YouTube, influencer content) can’t get stuck in probate.”

🔹 Issue: Platforms enforce access controls. Without a trust structure naming successors, content and royalties may become inaccessible.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Following Thompson’s death, his vast ad revenues and sponsorship contracts were frozen until the estate established legal control via probate processes. Smith Strong, PLCLegacy.com+4Reddit+4Legacy+4

✅ Conclusion: Treat IP and online business like traditional assets: assign management to a trust, license rights formally, and name successors.

MYTH #45: “Families will sort it out.”

🔹 Issue: When intentions are vague or not legally documented, heirs often enact protracted legal battles.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Bob Marley died in 1981 without a will. His estate (worth hundreds of millions) became the center of decades-long litigation, disputes over royalties, and issues around attribution—compounded by scholarship and foundation controversies. Wealth ManagementTrust & Will

✅ Conclusion: Don’t rely on goodwill. Estate clarity prevents conflict, legal costs, and loss of control.

MYTH #46: “Only large estates matter.”

🔹 Issue: Even modest estates without structure can create complex probate and IRS exposure.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Jimi Hendrix died intestate in 1970. His estate later ballooned in value, and legal disputes between heirs continued for years, despite original intentions for future royalties. Trust & Will+3scovills.com+3wilaw.com+3EW.com

✅ Conclusion: Planning is not about size—it’s about clarity. Structure matters regardless of asset magnitude.

MYTH #47: “Courts will do the right thing if I don’t specify.”

🔹 Issue: Probate courts follow document instructions—not your wishes. Without current guidance, assets may be sold or distributed poorly.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Heath Ledger’s estate lacked updated planning after life events. Courts distributed assets based on outdated structures. While not publicized in detail, similar cases illustrate that probate processes follow paperwork—not logic.

✅ Conclusion: Keep succession documents current alongside business growth and life changes.

MYTH #48: “Because I’m famous-or my brand is me-I don’t need structure.”

MYTH #48: “Because I’m famous—or my brand is me—I don’t need structure.”

🔹 Issue: Rights to name, image, and likeness (NIL) are property. Without assignment, courts oversee control—and commercial contracts get blocked.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Robin Williams assigned NIL to a trust before his death, avoiding brand disputes. Others without such planning faced lengthy litigation over usage rights.

✅ Conclusion: Assign your NIL and media rights to trusts or licensing companies to keep brand identity control outside of court.

MYTH #49: “I’ll get to estate planning later.”

🔹 Issue: Delay means default probate rules—courts fill gaps and your legacy suffers.

🔹 Case & Outcome: Amy Winehouse died in 2011 without a will; the lack of planning led to mismanagement of her catalog, income, and public brand—heritage intentions were never fully realized. Trust & Will

✅ Conclusion: Time is the enemy of estate clarity. Do something now—even a partial trust with IP assignments.
