Returning deposit to a dead tenant

[Bobby Narinov]

I have a tenant that passed away.

His adult kids came and cleaned up his place while he was still in the hospital.

After cleanup and repairs there is a small amount left. His kids want me to return it to them and they want the check payable to them.

I believe I should give them a check payable to my [dead] tenant but they disagree.

What should I do?
