Money paid by deceased estate for work performed

My wife did in-home healthcare for a sister in-law over a period of years. The sister in-law did not have the money at the time to pay her so the understanding was it would be paid from the estate after the sister in-laws passing. There was no problem with this as the heir recognized the work done and agreed. So my wife has received a lump sum for the work performed. How do I report this for taxes, SS and Medicare?
