A license shall be purely a personal privilege, good for not to exceed one year after issuance or until the following April 30, whichever time is shorter, unless sooner revoked as provided in this chapter. It shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution, voluntarily or involuntarily, or subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. Such license shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, but it shall terminate upon the death of the licensee; provided, that the executor of the will, administrator of the estate of any deceased licensee or guardian of any disabled licensee, and the trustee or debtor in possession of any insolvent or bankrupt licensee, when such estate consists in part of alcoholic liquor, may constitute the business of the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor under order of any court, and may exercise the privileges of the deceased, disabled, insolvent or bankrupt licensee until the expiration of such license or until six months after the death, disability, insolvency or bankruptcy of such licensee, whichever is the shorter period of time.
