Not really.
It's not as if you need a license or a degree to be an agent.
Want to be an agent? Hang up a shingle.
It would take an entire thread to list agent stories but one says it all: a prominent and respected agent died and his son in law, with zero experience took over the revenue stream, doing absolutely nothing to represent the clients (up to and ignoring contacts seeking to license their material).
Lawsuits are not uncommon.
