Can the deceased debtors estate benefit from the bankruptcy? I believe the executor can keep the bankruptcy open. What chapter?

Clients come in and tell me theyre married. We file a joint petition.
Within a week of filing the husband dies. Turns out they were not
married but thought they were because of common law.
Tee says case needs to be dismissed and refilled just for her.
Can I file a motion to bifurcate the case and let the deceased debtorcase get dismissed and carry on with hers?
Anyone have any thoughts?
