Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@hospital86 , agreeing with @GiseleD but adding a little:
(a) assuming that your mother is alive AND (1) that there is no mortgage on the property ; (2) that there are no other inheritors; (3) your mother has no wills / codicils etc. in place; (4) your mother is willing, able ( mentally and physically ) and under no duress to do this transfer ; (5) the property is in her name only ( or she has POA from other owner ) then this is possible.
(b) the difference between Fair Market Value and what you pay for this property would be regarded as a gift by her , and if beyond the free limit for the year then she will have to file a form 706 to record her gift ( against her lifetime free amount )
(c) Your basis in the property ( to be considered when you sell the property down the line ) is that of the donor on the date of donation --- it is often better to transfer the property as inheritance ( because then the your basis would be the fair-market -Value at time of death of the decedent.
I hope this gives a fuller picture of the situation
