The doctor will still have his medical records. However, medical offices do not give out records. Copies of records may be requested with permission from a patient. In your situation, the policy may vary but basically you would either be considered the "representative of the estate for deceased patients" and you will probably have to provide a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the representative of estate documents or a power of attourney document. There isn't usually a fee for releasing copies to other healthcare providers but if you want them released directly to you then there may be a fee, which the amount varies.
I hope this is helpful to you; please remember to press accept and feel free to contact me if you have anything to add.
