You will need to complete a K-1 for the member who died through the date of death. This income will be included on this individuals 1040.
You will then set-up a new K-1 for the trust and allocate the income / loss to the trust for the period post death.
From an internal book keeping perspective, you will transfer this individuals capital account balance over to the trust. This needs to be done "after" the allocation of the part year income or loss. This will zero out the capital account for the individual and "transfers" it to the trust.

Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
