Tenant dies, others move in and are behind on rent - eviction

Here is the short version...My tenant passes away, she owed a few hundred dollars but not much.  The tenant was the only name on the lease.

The family notifies me and says there will be moving her stuff out.  A couple days they tell me her "husband" is going to move in and take over and pay what she owes.  

The husband (and his brother and elderly mother) appear to be the ones living in the unit.  They are not paying rent and I need to evict.  

I am not sure who to list on the three-day notice.  Do I list the deceased tenant because her name was the only one on the lease?  I know the name of husband but not the other two.  

Another fun adventure in landlording...
