A license shall be purely a personal privilege, good for not to exceed one year after issuance, unless sooner revoked as in this subchapter provided, and 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 subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. Such license shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, but it shall cease upon the death of the licensee; provided, that executors or administrators of the estate of any deceased licenses, 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 under the order of the appropriate court, and may exercise the privileges of the deceased or insolvent or bankrupt licensee after the death of such decedent, or after such insolvency or bankruptcy, until the expiration of such license, but not longer than six months after the death, bankruptcy or insolvency. A refund shall be made for any portion of the license fees paid for any period in which the licensee shall not have operated under such license as a result of the provisions of this section.
