Investors & landlords

Thank you for your reply.  Just so I have it straight, this stock was purchased through an ESOP at my father's workplace probably from 1950's through early 1980's.  When my father passed in 1994 the stock became my mothers, and she gave 5 shares of stock to each of my children through Computershare creating their own accounts, which probably held the stock for the company's stock program.   So is the date these accounts were created in April of 1994 the cost basis for these 5 shares of stock in the accounts?  Years later my mother gave my children an additional 25 shares each so the transfer date for those 25 shares would be the date they were transferred?

 

I appreciate your help with this.
