I imagine EVF owning the copyright would prevent Will from benefiting from any sales of the book, including ones by unrelated third parties.
Correct, but if he intends to give away 100% of the proceeds (and presumably considers EVF effective), it has the same effect.
My comment was not to say “he should do x” but instead say “if he intends to do x and remain a trustee, this is a good way to structure it”.
