Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
Yes, I thought of that exact same thing. Maybe one way around that is to structure some sort of contract which spells out in detail the ins and outs of the whole thing with specific dates for payment checks and some mechanism for a fairly speedy resolution of differences of opinion. The Estate has some power now in this matter and they could use it not only to benefit themselves and the charities they give to but also establish some sort of template that could open up the door for other authors in the future when it comes to profit sharing.

In past disputes over profit sharing, everyone is looking back at how much money is involved. The Estate has the advantage of also needing to look forward in this regard to the next two movies that the stuiod has announced. They could use this to the advantage of all authors, future profit sharers and strike a blow for fairness.
