The person's estate is responsible for payment of back taxes. If there are any assets, the debts must be paid before any assets can be distributed to the heirs. If there are no assets the creditors should be notified of the death and they are out of luck.

Paying the taxes alone, no. If others are named on the deed, you'll need to work with them, period. All named individuals own the property equally. The court doesn't care who pays the taxes as long as they're being paid. Stop paying the taxes, and all of you risk losing the property.
