One IRS web page, updated October 26, 2020, says:
“The following are also not eligible [for an Economic Impact Payment]: a deceased individual or an estate or trust.”
https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payment-information-center-topic-a-eip-eligibility
But then the draft Form 1040 instructions for 2020 state:
“Generally, you are eligible to claim the recovery rebate credit . . .This includes someone who died in 2020, if you are preparing a return for that person.”
