Re: taxes
His executor should prepare and file his taxes.
But of course that begs the question of who
should be his executor, if any.
If he did not have a will, and you are not
formally divorced, then you would be the most
likely person to become executor. However, it
is possible for you to refuse to serve, in which
case another family member might step up and
qualify as executor.
