After the death of the licensee, an heir may operate under the licensee's BSIS name and license number for up to 120 days provided what condition is met?

• A. Written notice of death within 60 days
• B. Written notice of death within 30 days
• C. Written notice of death within 90 days
• D. Written notice of death within 120 days

Answer: (B)

When a licensee dies, the idea being tested is how the regulatory body allows a successor to keep the business running under the same license while sorting things out. The key condition is a written notice of the death must be filed with BSIS within 30 days. If that notice is provided within 30 days, the heir may operate under the licensee’s BSIS name and license number for up to 120 days to cover the transition and wind-down period.

That 30-day notice requirement is about timely informing the Bureau so they can record the change and supervise the transition, while the 120-day window gives the estate or heirs a practical period to arrange a proper license transfer or closure without abruptly stopping service to customers. If the death notice isn’t filed within 30 days, the permission to operate under the deceased license typically wouldn’t apply, and continued operation would not be allowed under that arrangement.
