As a Minnesota course creator, your digital legacy involves complex assets from LMS platform access to drip content schedules. If you are incapacitated or unavailable, your business faces unique risks like enrollment drops and refund disputes. This document ensures an agent can manage your intellectual property under the Copyright Act, handle LMS provider contracts, and ensure compliance with the Minnesota Wage Theft Prevention Act if you employ a team. Without it, platform dependency and income volatility could dismantle your business in your absence.
