Because you sold the house within six months of her passing then the house is valued at what it was when it was sold since that is a reasonable length of time after your mother's passing and the market wasn't fluctuating dramatically. The value of the house is seen to be exactly what you sold it for, so there is no gain on the sale and no taxable income.
If the trust owned the house there may be a loss on the sale, however. You can take expenses necessary to prepare the house for sale as well as fees for the sale as expenses. If this results in a loss that loss can be passed through to the trust beneficiaries for them to take on their personal returns.
Sorry for your loss.
