If you have no interest and they are not claiming any money damages against you personally, no.
Although if you have no personal interest or liability to your Mother's property, then your failure to file an Answer will not legally negatively effect you, the better solution is to file a response that simply says that you waive any interest you might have in the property and any need for the Bank to continue to serve you or contact you and then the Bank can move foward with the foreclosure without further bothering you.You can do this with a simple hand written letter to the Court and copy it to the Attorney for the Bank. Good Luck.
