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.
Its crazy they could do that in america
