Write to the AO a letter requesting to close the file of the assessee, and attach the death certificate duly attested by a notary with the letter.

upto the time, the return is due or getting filed by legal heir, there is no need to intimate, but when u wish to close the file, intimate the AO

you dont have to do anything... so forget it.. no need to intimate anyone....
