Bank account has to be closed and new account with operating authority of new proprietor would be opened for further operation. Any balance in old account can be withdrawn on the basis of nomination in the account.
The assets and liabilities of the old firm are the property of all legal heirs of the deceased. The books have to be closed and balance sheet has to be prepared.
All licenses have to be taken / transferred in the name of new proprietor.

New account of the firm would need be opened, as old proprietor's account becomes defunct on her death. The legal heirs can claim the balalce hown in the firm's account after completion of necessary formalities.
