Hi, there was no court-appointed representative for her estate. Would it still need to be filed if she had no estate or assets to pay the taxes ?
You need to be cautious in this scenario with respect to transferee liability.
If she truly had no assets, meaning heirs (or others legally entitled to succeed to any property she held at her passing) received nothing, then there should not be any issues with respect to any income tax liability she may have had prior to her passing.
