That was a bit confusing.
If you mean that the grandparent was a dependent of someone else, therefore not having enough income to file an income tax return of their own, then no final income tax return would be required.
Any issues regarding their will would be irrelevant to an individual income tax return. Estate returns are what are connected to wills. However, someone who did not have enough income to file an individual income tax return, would be also be very unlikely to have enough assets for an estate return to be required.
What kind of assets did she leave, and what are the value of those assets?
