§ 571. Transfer of license.

(a) The rights conferred by a license may be transferred by the Commissioner to any representative designated by the person to whom or on behalf of whom the license was originally granted, if such representative is a person approved by the Commissioner. In the case of death of an individual to whom a license has been granted, the Commissioner may transfer the license to a qualified person recommended by the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased licensee.

(b) In instances where the Commissioner has approved the transfer of a license, all matters concerning alcoholic beverage inventories shall be handled directly between the transferor and the transferee and all payments shall be made directly and not through the Commissioner.
