The responsibility for any taxes owed will rest with their estate based on business or individual returns. However, if the back taxes were due on returns that included you (joint returns), yes you will be held responsible. You are considered to have gotten the benefit of them not being paid.
You would be wise to consult a tax attorney on your situation.

Usually they will give the executor of the estate a time frame (sometimes 90 days) to sell off any assests of the deceased and submit payment, after this time is up they come in and auction it for themselves.
