undoubtedly , at the event of one partner's death, the firm is dissolved. inserting son's name in the deed require a careful examination towards the fact that "is it the formation of new firm or continuation of the old one ?"this could be resolved after looking up the contents of the deed they agreed upon..

as for the bank account is concerned, i suggest you to ask them to obtain a court's direction in favour of living partner and legal heirs of the dead one.
