1099 Employer passed away before work was completed

I am in a difficult and somewhat nuanced situation. So my boss who was paying me as an independent contractor died last week. He owned a carpentry company as an LLC. We have 3 open jobs that the GC's still have not paid him for because the work has not been completed yet. He pays me hourly for which I also have not been paid since his death.

Should I continue the work that he signed contracts for which I agreed to do? And should I expect payment for continued work being performed? My main concern is getting his LLC paid for the work so it can go to his family. I would also very much like to get paid but I do not know how to go about either. Any advise would be very helpful. Thanks. Location: Colorado.
