Quick Summary
If a sole proprietor passes away, their business, including stock, can be transferred to their legal heir. This process involves registering the new firm, transferring Input Tax Credit (ITC) via Form ITC-02, and cancelling the old firm's GST registration due to a change in constitution. A CA certificate may be required for ITC transfers exceeding £5 lakh.

Yes you can ... kindly refer the circular no. 96/15/2019 DT.23/3/2019 specifically issued in this regard
You may transfer the whole business to his wife
Fristly take reg of new firm( transfree) then transfer the itc through ITC-02 form if itc amount exceed 5lakh then ca certificate is required...then apply for gst cancellation of old firm via slecting the option of change in Constitution
