A deceased parent owned rental properties. From the time of the decedent's death through tax year 2019, the estate has been filing fiduciary returns, passing the income and the tax liability through to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries receive K-1s and use them to file their own Schedule Es. In 2020 I paid a lawyer to transfer those properties into the names of the beneficiaries. Does anyone get to deduct that expense?
