. The department may issue a certificate of convenience to
the executor, executrix, administrator, or administratrix of the
estate of a deceased holder of a validly outstanding license issued
under this part, or, if no executor, executrix, administrator, or
administratrix has been appointed and until a certified copy of an
order making the appointment is filed with the department, to the
surviving spouse or another heir otherwise entitled to conduct the
business of the deceased. The certificate shall permit that person to
exercise the privileges granted by the license for a period of one
year from and after the date of death. The department may issue
necessary one-year renewals of that certificate pending, but not
later than, disposal of the business and qualification of the vendee

the license under the provisions of this part. The department may
restrict or condition the certificate of convenience or the license
and attach to the exercise of the privileges thereunder those terms
and conditions as it determines are necessary for the protection of
the public.
