Execute a formal deed of partnership amongst themselves so there is no dispute in distribution of profit or loss of the firm.

A partnership firm can not take over the business of a deceased proprietor. You have to take sucession certificate from competant court.

If there is a will with proper witnesses during the life time of testator , it can help.
