I didn’t think legal contract could contain “forever”? Which is why Disney’s contract has the death of the last living monarch.

Last living monarch of ... Just in general?

A contract related to Disney in Florida wanted a forever, couldn't legally do it, but you could do a timeframe from a person, so they picked the last British monarch after a certain birth cutoff, essentially giving them something like 300 years (very rough estimate don't remember well enough) in a contract that wasn't intended to really do more than 100.

So it's still possible. Didn't you have a big kerfuffle in 1775 about basing your legal system on a British monarch
