I'd start by offering $3,000 plus an employment letter saying when she was employed, what she was tasked to do, with the date of separation and the reason, i.e. the job was eliminated because Mom/Dad died. If he takes that bait (with of course a liability letter from you), that's the cheapest way to get out of this.
And for all of you wanting to hire one 24/7 caregiver on the private, absolutely do not do this. Every single person who takes that on is functionally homeless without such jobs. That is why you need a day person, to eliminate the possibility of homelessness and desperate behavior from said indy.
As a live-in it should be assumed when the client dies, his/her employment is done so moving out is the next step. Live-ins should have back up plans. Was it a private hire or an agency. If an agency hire, I would say immediately. Private, a little tricky. Check with ur Labor board to see if there is any timeline provision when hiring live-ins. Was there a contract. If so, it should say what happens when the client leaves the house or passes.
I think a month is too long. Maybe 2 weeks at the most. Again, check the Labor laws for ur State.
This is a question that should be asked upfront and agreed upon before the caregiver starts the job.
If I were to hire someone to be a live-in, I'd give the person at least a month to find another place to live. It takes time to find a new place, then pack and move.
