Final Retrun after death

My mother passed away 12/5/2022.  My father filed a tax return for 2022 as a widow.  All of the their assets are held in trust.  He recently received a 1099-R for 2023 for a payment made after her death  the payment was deposited into their formerly joint trust account on 1/3/2023. He is the beneficiary of the pension and  continues to receive monthly payments.  The payment had a federal withholding of $50 and referenced my deceased mother's SSN.  How should this be handled and does he need to file a final tax return for her.
