A temporary license allows a producer taking over a deceased person's business to operate for a period of how many days without requiring examination?

• A. 90 days
• B. 180 days
• C. 365 days
• D. 120 days

Answer: (B)

A temporary license is used to ensure the business can continue to serve clients smoothly during a transition after the death of a producer. The period allowed without requiring an examination is 180 days, about six months. This window gives the person taking over enough time to wind down the deceased licensee’s affairs, notify clients, and complete the steps needed to formalize the transfer, while still staying compliant with regulatory oversight. After this period, the new licensee would typically need to meet the standard licensing requirements, including examinations if applicable, to continue operating.
