Your basis would be the Fair Market Value of the property at the time of death or the alternate valuation date selected by the executor of the estate, plus any adjustments necessitated by events after the date of death. If an estate tax return was filed, you should obtain the information from the return. If not, you should obtain an appraisal. If no appraisal was performed, you can get a retroactive appraisal done, but these are expensive, especially as more time passes.
