Deceased Parents tax return

I used turbotax to file my parents, who both died in 2023, tax return. My mother passed first and my father 8 weeks later. I am the designated executor of the will. Do I sign my name on their tax return or do I sign their name? I know I have authority and I am attaching the form 1310 and the letter of testamentary from the court with the return, but I am not sure who's name I sign, my own or my parents name that is on the return itself. I am filing for the married/jointly - do I sign both their names or my name on the signature line? Thank you in advance!
