Some good advice - see a Tax focused CPA or Lawyer.
However, anyone reading this - YOU DON'T WANT TO CO-OWN A HOUSE WITH YOUR PARENTS. Then when they die, you just sell the house at the stepped up tax value and split the money. Not a big deal. When you are the owner also, then the value does NOT get stepped up so there may be capital gains issues, especially if Mom owned the house for a long time. If you lived there with her, you might skip this but then you have gift issues as stated previously.

If you own a home with your parents do a quit claim deed and get your name OFF the property.
