The original author of a creative work is automatically the owner of the copyright. If there are multiple authors of a jointly created work, they are automatically joint owners.

Ownership can be transferred to others. In the USA it can only be done in a signed writing that is recorded in the US Copyright Office.

The ownership of "works made for hire" varies slightly according to national laws. In the USA, for example, an employer is considered the "author" of works done by its employees and thus owns the copyrights. For independent contracts, however, the contractor is the legal author and owns the copyright unless there is a signed document in the proper form to the contrary result, granting "authorship" to the client.

Is A spouse who signs lien pro forms an owner?

A spouse who signs a lien pro forma does not automatically become an owner of the property. The lien pro forma is typically a document that acknowledges a financial obligation rather than a transfer of ownership. Ownership is determined by the title and deed of the property, which must be legally recorded. Therefore, unless the spouse's name is added to the title, they do not hold ownership rights.

The first step is to determine ownership under the laws of the state where the property is located. Ownership rights are determined by the way the title to the property is titled. If the property is held as Joint Tenancy or Joint Tenants With Rights To Survivorship (JTWRS) the propert passes directly to the other owner(s) and is not subject to probate action; if it is held as Tenants-In-Common the share of the property belonging to the deceased is determined by and subject to probate procedure.
