Will I get taxed for recieving money after a sale of a home?

prelude502 asked:


My cousin sold the property that my family used to live in. Since we have been contributing to his mortgage for the last 15 years, he feels obligated to give us $50,000 after the sale. Assuming he has paid all applicable taxes on his end, would I get taxed myself?
