My mother passed away in nov 2011. She did not have a will. The house was left to my mother and I by my father who is also deceased. He passed away feb 2007. I am now trying to get help with filling out the inheritance tax papers and setting up an agreement to pay them. She was 40,000 behind in taxes and I need to also switch the deed in my name to set up a low income agreement to keep my house out of sheriff sale. I need help and advice on how to take care of this.

The details of the taxes owed and what state's law applies (you didn't mention the state) matter in determining how to best deal with this. I suggest you see a tax attorney for some guidance on this.

I agree with the previous response, you may want to consult with a local Tax Lawyer to advise you on this issue. I also suggest you read Inheritance Law and Your Rights.
