b.The license is permanently void and the trade can never be resumed
c.The death dissolves the partnership, so the license must be addressed with the CSLB
d.The deceased partner's heirs automatically become licensees

A contractor license is issued to a specific entity under §7065. The death of a general partner dissolves the partnership as it was constituted, so the surviving partner must notify the CSLB and, typically, apply for a license for the new business form.
