This presents itself as the landlord needing to foreclose on the deceased nephew. It's not a landlord tenant relationship as your nephew was buying the home. Serving the 3 day notice might be a waste of time and money if taken to court and the judge decides that foreclosing is the correct procedure to follow.

The son also may have a claim under by law as to the right to inherit his fathers property. Just because it was a verbal agreement, does not make it not a legally binding agreement that can be enforced in court.

I agree that this is more of an estate question. If you did have an agreement for the nephew to purchase the house -- is son may have inherited that agreement - However that would also make him liable for paying you the agreed upon purchase price of the house - since you weren't gifting it to your nephew, but selling. I think you should speak to a lawyer (who can give you insight about this - and is able to practice law where the house is. I don't think this is landlord/tenant - sounds more like estate. Some lawyers will give you a free consultation session.
