Okay, it is a Community Property State, so it completely resets and the prior depreciation completely disappears.

As Jeff said, on the existing/old asset enter the Date of Death as the "disposition" date and leave the sale price BLANK.

Then create a new asset, enter the FMV on the Date of Death, and start depreciating it beginning on the Date of Death.
