Yes. Joint tenants are equally responsible for paying the mortgage. However, you should be aware that if the circumstances in the relationship between the parties (mortgagors) changes and one abandons the property, the lender will hold the remaining person solely responsible for paying the entire balance due.

It depends on how the 2 people owned the property: as joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, tenants in common, and whether the mortgage covered the entire fee ownership or just one joint tenant's interests in it. Too little information to be specific, but if we're talking joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the mortgagor-owner would inherit the deceased joint tenant's share and nothing much would change.

Are you responsible for your mother's mortgage on her house that was left to you by survivorship rights?
If you inherited the property, the estate must be probated and your mother's estate is responsible for the mortgage debt. However, if there is no cash to pay the mortgage and you want to keep the property, the mortgage must be paid or the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure. If you decide to keep the property you need to contact the bank to arrange for an assumption of the mortgage or just keep paying the mortgage until the debt has been paid in full. If you owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and only your mother granted a mortgage in the property then you should consult an attorney who is familiar with your state laws regarding real property and mortgage by one co-owner.
