Security Deposit

Inherited a 14 year tenant. She passed away. Family is asking for the security deposit. All the carpets in the whole unit need to be replaced. Is that normal wear and tear? I wasn't there 14 years ago when she moved in so I don't know what the place looked like then but even if it was perfect what would be the way to handle this? Then also taking into confederation the ethical thing to do in this situation.
