SongEstate is an investor-side intelligence product tracking succession events across music royalty catalogs: the deaths, probate filings, heir disputes, and stalled administrations that decide who controls a catalog next.
One product, one job: tell investors when a catalog loses its steward, while the window is still open.
We monitor the public events that signal succession: deaths, probate filings, contested wills, administrator changes, and litigation that freezes a catalog.
Every lead is checked against public records before it ships. Every alert links its evidence, so you can diligence it yourself.
Tier 1 flashes for the highest-conviction events, a weekly digest for everything else. Built for catalog funds, publishers, administrators, and power buyers.
Four rules govern everything we publish.
Probate filings, court dockets, press reporting, obituaries, and public rights registries. If it is not public, it is not in an alert.
No black boxes. Each alert names its sources with links, so your diligence starts where our research ends.
SongEstate is an investor-side product. We never contact heirs, families, or estates, and we never will.
Alerts describe assets and public legal events. Nothing we publish is investment, legal, or tax advice, or an offer to buy or sell any security.
In our own review of twenty high-profile music estates, the majority spent months or years with no one clearly in charge of the catalog. Royalties pooled, exploitation froze, families fought in public, and the investors who bought in bought early. Succession is where catalogs change hands at their most interesting prices. We exist to make sure you see it happening.
SongEstate operates under its own brand and standards, as part of the SongSure family. One company for the data, one for the protection.
