  Estate Transfer  
     
  The Harry Fox Agency, Inc. offers publishers and licensees a single source for licensing and for the collection and distribution of royalties.
 
     
 

In order to complete the transfer of a publishing company estate, you will need to provide us with all of the following information:

  • A copy of the death certificate.
  • A copy of the relevant portions of the Will, assigning the publishing interest to the heirs.
  • A Letter of Testamentary, to show that the will has been probated and there are no other claims on the estate.
  • A W-9 tax form, signed by the new administrator confirming the tax ID number.

Please send these forms to The Harry Fox Agency, Attn: Index, 601 West 26th Street, 5th Floor, New York NY 10001.

Please note that HFA only represents the mechanical rights for its affiliated publishers. You will also need to contact the relevant performing rights agencies (ASCAP, BMI or SESAC) regarding their estate transfer procedures.
