Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New York

Without knowing the nature of the books, how many copies were sold or whether the estate (and by extension you) even have the rights to option the books to TV, $500, though not unheard of, is the very low end of option prices. Factors that contribute to estimating a fair option price and final purchase price are the term of the option, the nature of the production, whether exclusivity is sought, the reputation of the producer, among some. In addition you can request approval rights (though many producers would bulk at such a request) and request that your legal costs be covered by the producer.

The next step would be to retain an attorney and proceed to negotiate the best price and terms.
