Please first let us express our condolences on the loss of your parents.
With respect to your tax question, as the bank account is now yours (either via inheritance or by virtue of joint tenancy with right of survivorship), so is the reporting and taxpaying responsibility of any interest earned now yours as well. Thus, you are correct that you should include the $10 (or other) amount of taxable interest on your personal income tax return.
Thank you for your inquiry, and once again you have our sympathies.
