Letter – Waiver of Moral Rights by Personal Representatives
BS.WRI.04
This Waiver of Moral Rights by Personal Representatives is designed for use where the personal representatives of an author wish to waive moral rights to which they have become entitled in a literary work.
The letter records the basis on which the personal representatives hold the rights, the waiver itself, and the publisher’s undertaking to pay a specified sum in consideration of that waiver.
Waiving an author’s moral rights after death
The letter is divided into three parts:
- how the personal representatives acquired the rights, with three alternative options;
- the waiver of those moral rights; and
- the publisher’s undertaking to pay the agreed sum in return for the waiver.
