You definitely need to consult with an attorney.
Anybody can own a pageant and call it anyway they want.
The question is whether it is exclusive, and if what you do, your work, is owned by somebody else.

We have two children and need to appoint guardianship in the event of our death, as well as distribute our life insurance properly.
It sounds like you are a married couple and your plan of distribution at the first death is "survivor takes all".

However, I'm unsure if they are required to do so. They may well take the position that this... Read more »

If I were just drafted into the NBA and someone breaks my leg on purpose, Can I sue them for having ruined my career For the money I would have made had I gone to the NBA?

Your agent would lose a lot of money if you do not fulfill your contract. An agent would have ALREADY discussed this issue with you
