I put property in a living trust. Will that property receive a stepped up basis when I die?
When property is transferred from a living (revocable) trust to a beneficiary on the death of the grantor, the beneficiary receives a stepped-up basis. Any appreciation after the grantor’s death is taxable to the beneficiary when he/she sells the property.

Exemption
A fixed deduction allowed to every taxpayer, except those who may be claimed as a dependent by another person. Extra exemption deductions are allowed for a spouse on a joint return and for each qualifying dependent. A deduction of $3,400 is allowed for each exemption claimed on 2007 returns, but the deduction is phased out for certain high income individuals.
