Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to a Nevada liquor license when an owner passes away?

Nevada liquor licenses are not automatically transferable. Heirs must apply through Nevada Tax Commission transfer procedures. Life insurance provides funds to maintain operations during the transfer process and cover compliance costs.

How do liquor store owners plan for family succession?

Buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance allow family members who work in the business to buy out those who don't, maintaining license continuity and operational control while providing fair value to all heirs.
