How long is the appointment of the director as agent for service of process valid?

The appointment of the director as agent for service of process is valid as long as there could be a cause of action. This means that the appointment remains in effect until the obligation or liability that it was designed to address no longer exists. This ensures that if legal action is necessary, the appointed agent can be reliably reached for service, maintaining accountability and ensuring that all parties have a means of resolving disputes.

Understanding this can help in grasping the purpose of appointing an agent for service of process, which is primarily to facilitate legal notifications and ensure that actions can be taken appropriately, regardless of the status of the license itself or potential revocation. The distinction here is critical because it underscores the importance of maintaining legal recourse for parties involved in any contractual or claim-related issues tied to the license until there is no longer a cause for action.
