You get it from the estate, and its value at that time is your basis. (Establishing value with somethings can be tough, like art work, but must be done. Stock is easy, just look up the historical price). If you sell it after you get it...the amount you sell it for above what it was worth when you got it is a reportable capital gain by you.
