Copyright Ownership Following Writer's Death

by Anne-Marie Miller

Please would someone advise me if I'm allowed to e-publish my mother's many books following her death last year? She bequeathed copyright of them in her will

Anne-Marie,

I'm no legal expert, but if she specifically bequeathed copyright of them (to YOU, I assume), then the law's a TOTAL arse if you can't publish them.
