Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My Mom passed in 2020. Her property was in a Trust and left to my sister and I. In 2022 my sister bought out my half of the property. Since then the property has been appraised and they say we owe taxes on the property, probably for 2020-2022. All property taxes were up to date. Am I liable for these taxes even though I was bought out and received a check in 10/2022?

This is not a question that can be answered in an internet q&a. It requires a review of the trust and how the transaction was handled when your sister bought you out, as well as exactly what the tax authorities are asserting is owed for what time periods.
