Residuals, Royalties and Intellectual Property Rights

Residuals, royalties and intellectual property rights are one of the greatest financial benefits of being a member of our creative community. Throughout MPTF’s 100-year history, many generous industry members have chosen to make MPTF the financial beneficiary of these monies through their estate plans. Your residuals, royalties and intellectual property rights can generate income for many years to come and can allow you to leave a legacy gift that will help your fellow entertainment industry friends and colleagues.

To bequeath MPTF a portion or all of your residuals, royalties or intellectual property rights, speak to your estate attorney.
