At the time of his death this year on September 4, Kenneth owned the following assets, among others:

Fair Market ValueHouston (TX) Independent School District bonds$2,500,000Stock in Brown Corporation900,000Promissory note issued by Brad (Kenneth's son)600,000

In October, the executor of Kenneth's estate received the following: $120,000 interest on the Houston (TX) Independent School District bonds ($10,000 accrued since September 4), and a $7,000 cash dividend on the Brown stock (date of record was September 3). The declaration date on the dividend was August 12. Assume that the school district is solvent.

The $600,000 loan was made to Brad in late 2015. Kenneth's will does not forgive Brad's note. The business that Brad started with the loan funds was not successful, and the note has a zero value (note is considered worthless).
