<<Example: X buys MSFT for split adjusted $10, it is worth $60 on his date of death, estate sells for $62. The estate has a capital gain of $2.>>

Wrong. X buys MSFT for split adjusted $10, it is worth $60 on his date of death, estate sells for $62. The executor files an income tax 1040 and the dead Mr. X pays taxes out of his estate on the $52 gain. Then the cash left is taxed again before disbursement.
