Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Iowa

Death of buyer on real estate installment sale

I sold a property to a man and his daughter on contract. After 6 months, he passed away. The daughter wants to forfeit the contract. How do I get the property back into my name and remove his? I don't believe that the daughter has opened an estate.
