When any party to a lawsuit dies, the estate of the deceased party is substituted for the person. The estate executor or administrator then becomes the party in interest to handle the lawsuit. In most states, the executor/administrator will handle the lawsuit without having to consult with the ultimate beneficiaries before taking any action, such as settling. In practice though it is wise to get some feeling from the beneficiaries, since they might make some objections about a settlement and try to hold the executor/administrator liable for making a bad settlement. But once the ececutor/administrator does sign on the settlement, the beneficiaries cannot re-open the case just because they dislike the result.

More than a letter - you would have to file a 'motion' with the court to continue the case with yourself in place of the original plaintiff. If the original petitioner died, the court would have to rule that you had legal "standing" to continue the case. If you do not have "standing" then the case dies along with the plaintiff.
