    A local liquor licensee shall be purely a personal privilege, effective for not more than one year after the issuance, unless sooner revoked or terminated by dormancy and abatement, and shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment, or execution, nor shall it be alienable or transferable, voluntarily or involuntary, or subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. A local license shall not descend by the laws of testate or interstate devolution, but shall cease upon the death of the licensee, provided that executors or administrators of the estate of any deceased licensee, and the trustees of any insolvent or bankrupt licensee, when such estate consists in part of alcoholic liquors may continue the sale 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 licensee but not for longer than six months after said death, insolvency or bankruptcy.

    (b)

    A refund shall be made of that portion of the license fees paid for any period in which the licensee shall be prevented from operating under such licensee in accordance with the provisions of this section.
