What is required of a builder's partner if the builder passes away and they wish to continue the business?

To continue the business after the builder's passing, the builder's partner is required to follow the transfer process outlined by the Board. This is essential because the laws governing construction businesses often designate specific protocols for the transfer of ownership or management when a key stakeholder is no longer able to fulfill their role. This process helps ensure that the new arrangement complies with legal requirements and maintains the integrity of the business operations, particularly in industries where licensing and regulatory standards are critical.

Obtaining a new partner, completing additional certification, or discontinuing operations might not adequately address the legal and operational continuity needed to keep the business running smoothly during such a transition. Following the proper transfer process ensures that the remaining partner can manage ownership changes legally and effectively, which is vital for maintaining any existing contracts, licenses, and the client trust that has been established.
