should i sign using decedent's name?

Filing return for deceased son; completed Form 1310 but efile asks me to sign using HIS name. Is it correct for me to sign as him?

@nortsub  I am so sorry for your loss.  I pray for peaceful rest of the departed and my condolences for the family.

Generally, if you are filing a return in  the name of the decedent,  and filing by mail, you sign your name and add  " representative for "  or " attorney in fact for"  then the name of the decedent.  You choose your title based on facts.  Sometime  it your  name  and the "for " Decedent's name.

Is there more one of us can do for you ?
