§ 8-85. Emergency registration upon death of contractor.


Latest version.
  • If an uncompleted contract exists at the time of death of a contractor, the contract may be completed by any person even though not certified or registered. Within thirty (30) days after the death of the contractor, the person completing the contract shall notify the principal office, of his name and address, his knowledge of the contract, and his ability to complete it. If the principal office approves, he may proceed with the contract. For purposes of this section, an uncompleted contract is one which has been awarded to, or entered into by, the contractor before his death, or on which the contractor was the low bidder and the contract is subsequently awarded to him, regardless of whether any actual work has commenced under the contract before his death.
