manufacturer or distributor, any designated family member of a deceased or
incapacitated owner of a new motor vehicle dealership may succeed to the
ownership of the new motor vehicle dealership under the existing franchise
provided that:
(a) The designated family member gives the manufacturer or distributor written
notice of his or her intention to succeed to the ownership of the new motor
vehicle dealership within ninety (90) days of the owner's death or incapacity;
and
(b) The designated family member agrees to be bound by all the terms and
conditions of the franchise.
The manufacturer or distributor may request, and the designated family member
shall provide, promptly upon said request, personal and financial data that is
reasonably necessary to determine whether the succession should be honored.
