Personal Taxes

Cost Basis Step-up, 50% or can I apply to 100% of position

Father had a brokerage account solely in his name, a new account was created to include daughter (myself) JT WROS. The new account was set up the same month of my father's passing. I made no $ contribution to the account or exercised any trading. The account was only created so that the beneficiary would not be my elderly mother as my father was ailing. Can I justify that this was an inheritance and step-up 100% for cost basis?
