Deceased person tax return

Filing a joint return and both taxpayers are deceased and there is tax due. If we file electronically, does the personal representative need to "sign" the return?

Yes. Also if paper filed.

Are both estates solvent?  Do they have the same beneficiaries?  Are there two PR's, or just one for the spouse who was the second to die?  Are you sure you want to file a joint return?
