Post by: borg on September 13, 2008, 09:01
Does anybody think about that, what will be with my microstock portfolio then,after me...

Example:

After many many years in microstock,  someone has 30.000 images online, but Microstocker will be then 80 years old...
His portfolio is his capital and still makes a lot of money...
How to give his microstock portfolios to his wife,chilhdren or grandsons etc.!?

Anybody knows something about this...!?

I think you are still able to receive money via Paypal to heaven. If not then what is good about heaven if you can't buy yourself a brand new cloud to sleep and watch the earth from. Just a tought

Yes, that is best solution but... :D ;)


I am talking about my property and someone who stays on Earth after me...

Does someone who own microstock agency or work there can tell something seriously about that!??

Beyond leaving log-on info to stock sites, email attached to sites, and paypal (or however payment arrives), if we're really talking about decent money, person should play safe and ask LAWYER to include giving copyright of images/ income from specific accounts to specific people in Will. I'm not a lawyer, but if will already leaves everything to one person, I guess you could be covered legally.

Also, tell new copyright/account owners to log in every X number of months. That way, it will be a habit, and they'll see any announcements that may affect their account.  

I noticed on one of the sites that it's going to delete photos that haven't sold, of contributors who haven't logged in in over a year, so it would be risky to have a poorly attended account (where all one does is wait for payments to land) as the years go by.
