Hi,
It is the duty of assessing officer to send a communication to the legal heir for scrutiny. After that proceeding will be followed by the legal heirs and The AO will serve notice on the legal heir.
there has been a case law on this.
You can refer Vinod Gupta s Assessment procedure module

I have handled a case like this some years ago, wherein I cited a judgement wherein it was decided that a dead person cannot be assessed, will try to find it and cite here.
