Infinity Authors Allowed to Assign Royalties

Infinity Publishing allows our authors to assign their royalties to someone else, such as a co-author, a spouse or children, in the event of your demise.  This is a legal matter you need to confer with an attorney about regarding the laws in the state where you reside that cover directed assignments of royalties. In some situations, such pre-assignments of future royalties might keep the bequest of your royalties out of the probate court.  In the event of death, a directed assignment of future royalties is usually accomplished with a letter to the publisher identifying the author, the title and ISBN of the book; the author’s desire to continue to grant Infinity Publishing permission to keep on publishing and distributing the book; and who you have directed to receive the royalty payments upon notification of death. The extended protection provided under U.S. copyright laws endures from the time of creation of the work until 70 years after the death of the author. Combine extended copyright protection with a non-exclusive, open-ended publishing and distribution agreement with Infinity, blend in the fact that your book has the potential to always be in print and able to produce income perhaps well into the next century, and you have the makings of an “almost forever” venture.  This alignment linking author with publisher means your book will continue to be available long after you’re done and gone.  You can also assign the future royalties from the sale of your book as a directed legacy to a college, some other group, or your favorite charity. Your book takes on a special form of immortality, continuing to be available as a book-in-print for many long decades to come – or until the next ice age!!!
