Hi GMadrid!
Welcome to forums!
If you and your sister are the owners of the property, then none of you can be forced to transfer the property to your mother. If you transfer the property to your mother as a gift, then you and your sister will be liable for paying gift taxes. If you and your sister sell off the property and gain a profit, then both of you will be liable for paying capital gains taxes.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi Gloria,
It will depend upon the amount of profit you receive from the sale of the property. You may contact a tax advisor and he will better assist you in this regard.
