asked

My grandfather passed away and was leasing a Section 8 apartment in Brooklyn, NY. We cleaned out his apartment and informed the landlord, but she is refusing to return the security deposit without a legal document stating who to return it to. My parents, who paid the rent for over 20 years, are asking what their rights are to get the security deposit back and what legal document they can present to the landlord. Additionally, if there is no estate, how can they proceed to claim the deposit?
