Where on form 1040SR does a deceased taxpayers personal representative sign?

I am a court ordered Personal Representative.

If filing a paper tax return, on the Form 1040-SR the signature is on page 3 of the form.

You would sign where it says "Your Signature". Write the word “DECEASED,” the decedent's name, and the date of death across the top of the tax return.
