Who is entitled to continue the business under the same licenses for 120 days after the death of a licensee?

• A. A member of the immediate family
• B. A licensed colleague from another company
• C. Any employee of the company
• D. The landlord

Answer: (A)

When a licensee dies, the law provides a short grace period to keep the business running under the existing licenses while arranging a proper transition. The person authorized to do this is a member of the licensee’s immediate family. This allows continuity of service to customers and gives time to complete any license transfers or new licensing actions.

That’s why the correct answer is a member of the immediate family. A licensed colleague from another company, any employee, or the landlord does not have authority to operate under the same licenses after the licensee’s death, so they aren’t eligible to continue the business under those licenses for the 120-day period.
