§ 4-26. Privilege granted by license.  


Latest version.
  • A license issued under this article shall be purely a personal privilege, good for a period of time not to exceed one year after issuance, unless sooner revoked as provided in this article. It shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution, voluntarily or involuntarily, or subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. Such license shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, but it shall cease upon the death of the licensee; provided that, the executor of the will or administrator of the estate of any deceased licensee and the trustee of any insolvent or bankrupt licensee, when such estate consists in part of alcoholic liquor, may continue the business of the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor under order of the appropriate court, and may exercise the privileges of the deceased, insolvent, or bankrupt licensee until the expiration of such license or until six (6) months after the death, insolvency or bankruptcy of such licensee, whichever is the shorter period of time.
