The cost basis of stock acquired by transfer on death (TOD) when it is sold is typically the fair market value of the stock on the date of the original owner's death. This is known as a "stepped-up" cost basis. This means that any potential capital gains or losses upon the sale of the stock will be calculated based on the value at the time of the original owner's death, rather than their original purchase price.

My family inherited ATT stock. With all the spin offs and mergers how can I personally find out what is outstanding?

First what do you mean by outstanding? If you are looking for your cost basis. You need to look at the date of death for when you received the inheritance. The price of the stock on that date is your beginning cost basis. You may then need to use some worksheet to calculate basis given the different corporate events .
