You say that you as the beneficiary sold the stock - but you had not changed the broker's registration of ownership so the Form 1099-B is in your deceased aunt's name. One major question before going forward - as Personnel Representative (Executor) were you obligated to file either a Federal Form 706 Estate Tax Report or an equivalent state-level filing? Also, were there other assets of the estate that you undertook to sell, even while in the name of the decedent?
