Ex dividend reported vs paid date

My mother passed away two days before a large divided was paid, but the ex dividend date was three weeks before she passed. Do I report on her 1040 only what was paid prior to her death and ignore the ex dividend date? Therefore, the dividend would be reported on her 1041 Estate. Or, is what she earned before her death even though not yet paid counted on her 1040 return.

Thank you,
