If your mother willingly put your sister's name on the property, you can't remove it without her signing off. If it was added fraudently, your mother could file a quiet title action in court. Otherwise, the only thing your mother can do is file a partition action that would result in a sale of the property and a division of the proceeds. It would be expensive and presumably not accomplish your objective.
