A license shall be a purely personal privilege, good for not to exceed one year after issuance unless sooner revoked as is in this chapter provided, and shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. Such licenses shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, but it shall cease upon the death of the licensee, and the trustee of any deceased, insolvent or bankrupt licensee, when such estate consists in part of alcoholic liquor, may continue the business of the sale of alcoholic liquor under 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 such insolvency or bankruptcy until the expiration of such license, but not longer than six (6) months after the death, bankruptcy or insolvency of such licensee. No refund shall be made of that portion of the license fee paid for any period in which the licensee shall be prevented from operating under such license in accordance with the provisions of this section.
