Security Deposit

My tenant passed away before the end of the lease term.  The ex-wife of the tenant who is not on the lease, requested the security deposit.  Should I return the security deposit to the ex-wife or should it go to the estate of the deceased tenant?  I think it should go to the estate but have not found anything online for this situation. Thanks.
