What document is needed for a family to run a business after a licensee's death?

For a family to run a business after a licensee's death, a written permission to the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) is necessary. This document serves as formal notification to the regulatory body that the family intends to continue the operations of the business under the circumstances of the licensee's death.

The BSIS has specific protocols to follow in such situations, including verifying the legitimacy of the continuation of business ownership and ensuring that all legal obligations are met. Written permission provides the family with the legal authority to manage the business and is a proactive step in managing the transition of operations.

Obtaining a power of attorney would not be applicable after the death of a licensee, as it is a document used to grant authority during the individual's lifetime. Proof of ownership establishes ownership rights but does not, by itself, grant the authority to operate the business after the owner has passed. A new license application is typically needed if there is a change in ownership or operation, but in this specific scenario, the immediate requirement is the written permission to manage the business following the licensee's death.
