A license shall be purely a personal privilege, valid for a period not to exceed one year, unless sooner revoked as in this chapter provided, and the same shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution, nor shall it be alienable or transferable, voluntarily or involuntarily, or be subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. Such license shall cease upon the death of the licensee, and shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, provided that executors or administrators 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 or manufacture of alcoholic liquor as authorized by law, and may exercise the privileges of the deceased or insolvent or bankrupt licensee after the death of such decedent, or such insolvency or bankruptcy, until the expiration of such license, but not longer than six months after the death, bankruptcy or insolvency of such licensee.
