Filing for Deceased Grandfather

My grandfather passed away in Nov. 2018.  I filed a return for him as deceased for that year, 2018.  His estate did receive a death benefit and a t4a(p) for 2019.  I attempted to file for him for 2019 but turbo tax online says the year of death cannot be before the filing year.  How do I file this? or do we even have to file it?  Does my mother, the sole heir file it with her taxes as she was the one who received the money.  Thanks in advance.
