It is highly likely that the existing lease will remain in place and can't be renegotiated (unless the tenant has their own reasons for renegotiating). Leases almost never terminate upon the death of the lessor and they survive the transfer of the property. In terms of assurances, other than the language within the lease itself, there really aren't any assurances that the tenant will give.
If you are the personal representative of the estate, you may contact the tower owner/lessee and request a copy of the lease and any amendments. You will have to provide documentation of being the personal representative/owner of the property to them.
You can then share this lease as proof of income along with check stubs from the deposited rent checks or proof of automatic deposits. If there are no checks/deposits being received, then it is possible the deceased sold the lease at some point and is no longer getting payments. To find this out- you will need to check with the tower owner or with the clerk of court.
