Cevap
The temporary license is valid for up to 180 days and strictly allows Maria to service existing policies, but prohibits her from soliciting or selling new insurance business.
Under standard state insurance regulations, a temporary license is explicitly designed to allow a surviving spouse, next of kin, or court-appointed representative to wind down or sell a deceased or disabled producer's business. Because the individual has not taken the state exam, the license is restricted to servicing existing policies and is standardly limited to a maximum period of 180 days. It strictly prohibits the solicitation, sale, or writing of new insurance.
