Does this even belong on Schedule E? I don't see any business or profit motive. If the FMV appraisal at date of death was $500K but that did not take into account a $12K de facto lien from the tenant, I think you start with basis of $488K and call the attorney fees a selling expense, reporting it all on Schedule D. Rental income goes on Schedule 1, Line 8.
You did send a 1099 to the tenant, right?
