(1) If a real estate licensee who is a sole practitioner or who is the sole principal real estate broker of a real estate business dies or becomes incapacitated, the Real Estate Commissioner may issue a temporary license to the executor, administrator or personal representative of the estate of the deceased real estate licensee or to the court-appointed fiduciary of the incapacitated real estate licensee, or to some other individual designated by the commissioner, in order to continue to transact the real estate business in the case of the incapacitated real estate licensee or to wind up the affairs of the deceased or incapacitated real estate licensee. The term of a temporary license issued under this section may not exceed one year from the date of issuance unless the commissioner, in the discretion of the commissioner, extends the term of the temporary license based on sufficient cause provided by the temporary licensee to the commissioner.
