When a producer takes over a deceased person's business, a temporary license lasts for how many days?

• A. 60 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 180 days
• D. 240 days

Answer: (C)

When a producer takes over the business of a deceased licensee, the regulator provides a temporary license to keep operations going while a permanent arrangement is established. This temporary license lasts 180 days. The idea is to give the new operator enough time to wrap up ongoing transactions, notify clients, and complete the steps necessary to obtain a full, permanent license, all while ensuring continuity and client protection. Shorter periods (like 60 or 90 days) might not be enough to finish pending deals, and a much longer period isn’t the standard approach.
