Stepped up basis for property in probate
I am the sole heir and executor of an estate which includes a piece of property located in Virginia. If I were to sell the property through the estate, while still under probate, would the estate be able to claim stepped up basis for capital gains tax? I don't want to make the mistake of selling it under the estate and having a larger tax liability than if I waited until the property was transferred into my name.
