Edit: Per reply by u/Junin-Toiro, my questions below are already answered in the wiki.
If someone inherits specific assets from an estate (as opposed to inheriting a share of the entire estate), is the inherited cost basis determined by the specific assets or is it determined by the entire estate?
Would it make any difference if the inherited assets are sold by the estate? Or for that matter, would it make any difference if all of the estate's assets are sold before distributing the inheritance?
