Incometax up to date of death of your father will be taxed in father's name and income of post death period will be taxable in the hands of respectives successors.

If you and your mother be only legal heirs to your father, you both by mutual understanding can share the amount, which is tax free as inheritance. Any interest on the shared amount will be taxed in respective hands.
