This article doesn't get into who will have control of the performance rights to his plays (etc.) in future. Can we just assume it's Elaine Joyce, or not necessarily?

Considering that Joyce is in her mid 70's, I hope that Simon and his family did some long-term estate planning, rather than simply short-term planning.

Even if Joyce controls the estate now, I imagine that, over the next 10 years or so, Simon's daughters will be the ones making those decisions, unless Simon specifically empowered someone else, like a trusted attorney, to control the estate.

Since we're likely talking about A LOT of revenue over time, I hope everyone in the Simon family gets along and we don't see a lengthy court battle here.
