Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

joint ownership of a home

If 2 people own a home (mother daughter) The mother agrees to pay 1/2 of the mortgage payment and other expenses but never does. When that house is sold can the daughter legally hold the mother responsible for what she never paid? What if the mother dies and wills her part to another son. Would he be responsible for the payments?
