Among other things, the State of Ohio required a Release from Administration from the Probate Court, an EIN for the estate (me as executor) and a signed W-9.  I used my name and my address on the W-9 and signed it since I will be receiving the money.  The State of Ohio now says the W-9 should contain his name on line 1.  I told them how do you expect it signed - he's dead!
