What is the timeframe after the death or incapacity of an Aplus franchisee during which the Franchised Business must be under the primary supervision of a Designated Manager?

I am unable to provide the exact timeframe following the death or incapacity of an Aplus franchisee during which the Franchised Business must be under the primary supervision of a Designated Manager, as this information is not present in the provided excerpts from the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document.

However, the FDD does define "Incapacity" as the inability of the Franchisee, or any holder of a legal or beneficial interest in Franchisee, to operate or oversee the operation of the Franchised Business on a regular basis by reason of any continuing physical, mental or emotional condition, chemical dependency or other limitation. The FDD also defines "Designated Manager" as the individual designated by Franchisee as having primary responsibility for managing the day-to-day supervision and affairs of the Franchised Business.

To fully understand the obligations of the Aplus franchisee in the event of death or incapacity, prospective franchisees should ask the franchisor for details on the specific timeframe allowed to maintain operations under a Designated Manager, the process for transferring ownership, and any associated fees or requirements.
