After you file
@tdicomes - No, I don't think it will be sent, but that should be a moot point anyway since you cannot e-file a tax return for a deceased persona anyway, unless it is a joint return you are filing joint with a deceased spouse that passed in 2018 - anyone else is required to sign the tax return "for the deceased name with your name as personal representative". If you are the appointed personal representative also attach the document that appointed you personal representative to a mailed tax return.
You cannot sign a e-filed return as personal representative as required- that can only be done on paper with an ink signature.
I suggest that you read IRS Pub 559 (Survivors, Executors, and Administrators) for a lot of good information about filing the final return and estate return and other requirements.
