If a stock brokerage account is held jointly by a mother and daughter using the mother's social security number, and the mother is 98 years old, what happens to the step-up in basis at the time of the mother's death? Is it better to change the account to a revocable living trust or keep it as a joint tenancy with right of survivorship (JTWROS) for tax purposes?
