[WSBARP] Does the IRS treat Registered Domestic Partners the same as a married couple?

Listmates:

 

Do you of you know if the IRS treats Registered Domestic Partners the same
as married couples when it comes to step up in basis?  We know assets
received through probate can get a new cost basis.  The surviving spouse
receiving real property through either a CPA or JTWROS also receives a new
cost basis for the entire property.  Will the same occur for a surviving RDP
receiving the deceased partner's share through either a CPA or JTWROS, or
must it be received through probate?
