I dont know if they sent the check / refund to his old address but I never received it. Now it is beyond seven years. Can I still pursue that money/refund? Thanks

There is three-year statute of limitations for claiming a credit or refund, as outlined by the IRS. It also applies to refunds for a deceased person's estate. This rule is rooted in the Internal Revenue Code Section 6511(a), which sets the general time limit for all taxpayers, including a decedent's estate.

Hope this helps!
