The final 1040 is no different than any prior 1040. In regards to how it is handled on the trust, much more information is needed. For example: Was it in a trust before death? Did they pass through probate? You should definitely seek some professional assistance.

On the 1040 you claim depreciation up until the date of death.
Were the rentals held in a living trust that became irrevocable upon death? If yes, the trust picks up the rentals as of date of death and begins depreciating them using the date of death value as basis.
As George mentioned, you ned the trust agreements, along with the will; probate filings, etc.
