Assuming your mother is of sound mind and memory, there is nothing that your aunt can do. A will is individual, and cannot be done for anyone else.

Your mother should meet with her own attorney and have the will drafted as your mother wishes. Her sister should have no say in the matter.
The attorney has an obligation to represent the interests of the client who in this case is your mother.
