I am co-authoring some ebooks with a writer in India. The Internet sites that sell the books will only send the royalties to one author (me). I will send the other author's share to her. But not if I'm dead, obviously.
One of the sites will only do business with American authors.
I'm assuming that a will is the way to go, with a lawyer contacting the sites with a death certificate and requesting that all income from those sources (royalties) go to the other author. I don't know what happens with the site that doesn't accept foreign authors. Or would she even need to be considered an author at that point?
I just want to educate myself a little before consulting an attorney.
Thanks for any help.
