Can you deduct the unreimbursed cost of documents and filing fees (eg for new deed) for donations of land?

My father (who passed away in 2020, so I'm doing his taxes!) donated 7 acres of his total of 10 acres of land to the adjoining Audubon Society this calendar year. A necessary part of that included a new survey plan showing the split of the land, as well recording and filing fees for his new deed (the part of the land he kept was also where his primary home is located). Are those costs deductible? If so, are they considered a cash donation, or where would I input those costs in Turbotax?

 

TIA
