You don't say which tax liability you're talking about. As
far as income tax liability, I'd think that the fact it's
joint tenancy won't change a thing.

If you mean who or what property is responsible for payment
of estate tax, it probably depends on state law, and/or what
is in the guy's will, if he has one. If there's no will I'd
guess that the property would be responsible for a
proportionate share of the tax on the entire estate. If
there's a will, it may well apportion taxes among the
recipients of the probate property, meaning that if there is
enough that is not joint tenancy, the jt property may not be
liable for any tax.

But it depends on several factors.

There's no income tax on the inheritance. If the estate is
large enough estate tax applies.

Default Joint Ownership

If property, bank accounts, CDs, and stock are all held in
joint ownership, and one dies (not a spouse), and there is
no probate, what is the tax liability.
