My father passed in mid 2019 and I've completed and submitted his final tax return about a month ago. My mother passed years ago so my brother and are in the estate phase of handling the inheritance for my parent's assets. I am the State-appointed Administrator of the Estate and received a $1200 stimulus check for my father. I looked online and there's little information on what to do with checks issued to deceased taxpayers.
The closing of the Estate is nearing completion. Once my father's tax return refund for this normal taxes is received, the Estate will be ready for the final accounting phase of documenting all the funds in and out of the a Estate account and final paperwork to close the Estate will be issued to the State of Florida.
Does anyone have some guidance with what I should do with this check?
Thanks.
