Under IRC 2032, the alternate valuation date in your example would be the date the assets were distributed to the beneficiaries. The AVD is the date that the property is "distributed, sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of within 6 months after the decedent's death" or if the property was not "distributed, sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of within 6 months after the decedent's death," the AVD is the 6 month date and the resulting value.

Distribution of asssets "in kind" generally means that the asset itself is distributed to a beneficiary as opposed to the asset being sold with the cash being distributed.
