Licenses nontransferable
A liquor license cannot be handed over or sold to someone else. There are two exceptions. First, if the license holder dies, a close family member can apply to take over the license for the rest of the time already paid for. Second, if a business partnership loses a member, the remaining partners can keep running the business on the same license until it runs out.
