If I had to guess, it would be putting the stock into some financial vehicle, making grandma the custodian of the vehicle, then grandma disassembles the vehicle and kicking the bucket, giving the step up basis.

Let’s replace the road with something more durable! Iron should do the trick. Also if everything is attached, only 1 person really needs to drive! That would free up a lot of people’s time.
