When it comes to estate planning, most people immediately think about wills or trusts. But if you are a parent of minor children, there is one critical component you absolutely must have: legal guardianship nominations.

Before a camera rolls or a deal is signed, there’s one critical thing every film producer must secure: the legal right to the story. It doesn't matter if you’re adapting a best-selling novel, turning a newspaper article into a documentary, or dramatizing a real-life event — if you don't properly own or license the rights to the source material, you’re setting your entire project up for serious legal trouble. Even worse, you could lose the film after it's made.

You’ve spent years—maybe decades—building wealth to create a better life for your children. You’ve invested wisely, grown your business, protected your assets, and made smart decisions. But here’s a sobering question: Will your children actually inherit what you built?

What happens when the platform changes the algorithm? Or a brand ghosts you after you deliver? Or worse—someone starts selling merch with your catchphrase, and you have zero legal ground to stop them?

As a successful parent, you've worked hard to give your children every advantage—quality education, a safe home, and a future full of opportunity. But what would happen if you were suddenly no longer here to guide them?

So, you've made it. The crowds are bigger, the checks are fatter, and the spotlight is finally shining on you. But behind the scenes, there's one lingering issue: you’re stuck in a management deal that no longer serves you—or maybe never did.

What if the way you leave that inheritance actually puts their future at risk? Most wealthy families assume that a basic will or even a simple trust is enough. The truth is, without advanced planning, your child’s inheritance could be exposed to divorce, lawsuits, creditors—even their own poor decisions.

For decades, record labels have been notorious for signing artists to contracts that heavily favor the label, often leaving musicians struggling to regain control of their work and earnings. Even established artists who have spent years in the industry can find themselves locked into unfavorable deals that limit their creative and financial freedom.
