Inheriting 15K: Sell and Reposition or Let it Ride?

Hi all,

28M, 300K combined net worth with partner. Recently inherited 15K in brokerage account. No debt and no immediate need for funds. My brokerage (110K) is presently invested in 90/10 VTI/VXUS.
Here's the holdup. The funds I am inheriting are heavily weighted towards high expense ratio bond and securities ETFs (.38 and above).

Bonds and Securities: 10K (MAHQX, LLDYX, TRECX)
Low-Cost Broader Market Funds: 5K (VOO, VWO, SCHM)

My first thought is to sell the bonds and securities ETFs, incur any tax penalty, and reinvest the 10K in VTI/VXUS. I would hold onto the 5K of VOO, VWO, and SCHM and I do not believe the penalty would be worth the repositioning. However, I could be thinking about this all incorrectly. How would you approach?
