1If a party, a natural person, dies in the course of the administrative procedure, that takes place on an issue of personal character, the public organ shall declare the administrative proceeding concluded, without taking a final decision on the issue. In any other case, if the public body considers that the party participation is necessary, it shall temporarily suspend the proceeding until the identification of the heirs.
2Save when otherwise provided by law, similarly in the case of termination of a legal entity, when the latter is a party, the public organ shall declare the conclusion of the administrative procedure without taking a final decision.
