Only if you were listed on the account prior to her death, and remained on the account at the time of her death. Otherwise you will have to get a judge to appoint an Administrator of your mom's estate and that person (maybe you) will then be able to access the funds in the account.
It is likely that a Probate will be required, and you will have to hire an attorney to do that.
