The shares are valued on the date your grandmother passed in 2016.....take the high and low for the day she passed add them together and divide by 2 and that's your basis.

and in case anyone else reads this thread..... and even if Grandma purchased the stock the day BEFORE she died and you sold the stock the day AFTER she died, it's a long term gain, not short-term. It is always a long term gain is the point.
