Estate tax form 1041

My mothers estate has no income and no capital gains, do I still have to fill out the form 1041?  The only asset was a house, which sold well under FMV due to how dated it was inside.  The sale took place just under 6 months after her death. The proceeds will be split up amongst her children.

I have already filled out her personal tax forms 1040 which had little income and well below the personal exemption.  She has not paid any taxes in years.  I plan on sending in these tax forms by mail.

 

Do I need to send in a form 1041 with all the attachments to show that there is no income and no capital gains?

 

Thank you!
