If they had taxable income this year, they will need to have their taxes filed. You being the spouse are probably the best to do it. I am in a similar situation, my grandmother and father passed away this year. I was the caretaker for both of them. I will be filing taxes for both of them. I am able to do it for both because I am the administrator of both estates. If your spouse passed away in 2010, the best thing to do is file as you guys normally did.

Generally, an executor doesn't need to be the "legal spouse".
You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud.
