An heir can operate under the licensee's BSIS business name and license number for up to how many days after the licensee's death, provided written notice of death is given within 30 days?

• A. 60 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 120 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (C)

When a licensee dies, an heir is allowed to operate under the same BSIS license and business name for a limited period to maintain continuity of service. The key rule is that this can continue for up to 120 days, but only if written notice of the death is provided to BSIS within 30 days. This setup gives time to settle affairs and arrange a proper transfer or licensing changes without abruptly stopping service. During this window, the heir must still meet all license obligations and supervision requirements, just as the original licensee did. If more time is needed beyond 120 days, the proper licensing steps must be pursued to extend or reassign the license; otherwise, operations under that license should end after the permitted period.
