Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XX. Alcoholic Beverages § 243.640.Continuance in business by representative of defunct licensee

(1) If a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, partnership, or other business entity recognized by law that holds a license is dissolved, or if a receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or a guardian or conservator for the property of a licensee is appointed during the time for which a license was approved, or if a licensee dies during the time for which the license was issued and a personal representative is appointed for the licensee's estate, that corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, partnership, other business entity recognized by law, receiver or assignee, or the personal representative of the estate of the deceased or individual adjudged to be mentally disabled, may be permitted to continue the business upon the licensed premises for the balance of the term for which the license was effective, and any renewed license approved by the state administrator, with the same rights and subject to the same restrictions and liabilities as if they had been the original licensee.

(2) Before continuing the business the receiver, assignee, personal representative, or committee shall file a statement with the state administrator or administrators setting forth the facts and circumstances by which they have succeeded to the rights of the original licensee. The administrator or administrators may, in the exercise of the administrator's sound discretion, permit or refuse to permit the continuance of the business.

(3) If the administrator permits the continuance of the business, the license shall be submitted to the administrator, and the administrator shall write or stamp across the face of the license the words: “․․․․ is permitted to exercise the rights and privileges of the original licensee as (assignee, receiver, personal representative, or committee, as the case may be) of the original licensee for the unexpired term of this license.” The endorsement on the face of the license shall be dated and signed by the person making it.
