I own a townshome and rented to an elderly lady with a 2 year lease. Her daughter had power of attorney. They paid one year's rent in advance. However after 3 months, the elderly lay has died and her daughter is now the executer, but has moved into the townhouse with her family. She by herself was allowed to stay with her mother for her care. My questions are:
1. Are they still responsible for paying 2 year lease payments?
2. Should the executer be allowed to stay in the house?
3. Can her other siblings/beneficaries ask for a refund on the rent which has been paid already?

Your situation is a bit complicated legally so I suggest you visit an attorney experienced in landlord and tenant law. Also, the laws vary in each state and often in each city and county so an experienced attorney can answer your questions specifically for your area.
Take the advice and see an attorney - just be sure they are experienced in real estate laws.
I believe a lot will depend on what is written in the original lease agreement but you need legal help with all of these questions.
