Q.  If she was to sell it today, and keep 100% of the funds, do I have to file taxes or claim anything?

A. No.  Taxes essentially "follow the money".  Your mother reports it all since she has 100% beneficial interest. 

 

You may have a problem if you get a  form1099-S, in your name, for the sale.  In that case, you'll have to use a work around to report 0 capital gain.
