Answer
If he did not make a bequest for the performance of Hajj, Hajj on his behalf cannot be performed from his estate. However, if you wish, you may perform a Nafl Hajj on his behalf as a form of Isaal-e-Thawaab.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
