Certainly, they file a petition with the court. They usually require the agreement of the beneficiaries of the will to do so.

Does an executor of a Will need to file taxes if the deceased received only social security?

If the decedent was not required to file a return then the executor is not really required to file that return. As an executor, I would suggest that you do file a tax return just so that you cannot be questioned by heirs latter for not doing so. It would not be very expensive to file the return, and it could save you lots of problems down the road.
