Re: deceased account
If you have not contacted the case worker on the payee account, you need to let them know that your grandfather has died. They may expect a refund of some or all of the last payment.
With regard to your grandfather, his assets will need to be transferred to his heirs either by his Will or by Intestate Succession. You should contact the personal representative of the estate and if there is non, then the probate court or an attorney.
