Estate Music Catalog Liquidation

Master rights, publishing, and royalty streams from a deceased artist's catalog — valued and converted to cash.

An artist's catalog is often the largest asset in their estate. Estates routinely under-value catalogs because the heirs don't know what to look at. Sync placement history, recent royalty trends, and clearance status drive valuation more than nostalgia.

  • Full catalog inventory: masters, publishing splits, sync licenses past and active, mechanical royalties
  • Valuation methodology used by buyers (Hipgnosis, Primary Wave, Concord, Round Hill) — net publisher's share × multiple
  • Sync-placement campaigns to lift recent revenue, materially raising the catalog's sale price
  • Direct introductions to royalty buyers and one-stop sync deal makers
  • Clean documentation for IRS Form 706 estate-tax filing
