Re: was gifted a home
You will need to have a deed prepared, executed, and filed with the registrar of deeds office. If you are purchasing title insurance, they can usually arrange this for you. Your mother will also need to file a gift tax return with IRS, for the fair market value of the home, which will require a recent appraisal. If you are not purchasing title insurance, then you will need to hire an attorney.
