The issue is, I have been on the board for 8 years, with the current owner. His late brother, was a partner, but not on the board, legally. (alcohol/licensing issues)
The brothers estate still has a month, before it should be settled. That has to happen first, before the owner can transfer that ownership. If he becomes incapacitated before that, or it is determined, later, that he was failing, that could potentially put the ownership in question.
Since his sibling died, he has not been talking with most of his family, and they have been communicating through me.
