Re: Deed signing
A signature with a notary is presumptively valid.
To overturn something like this requires enormous expense and time.

Re: Deed signing
While I agree with Bob's answer, adding that with so much time that has passed, this would be difficult to overturn now (23 years later). But your question is confusing to me. You are asking about what appears to be a new Deed (from the children) and then talking about a prior Deed that your mother signed. If you could clarify this, by writing me directly, I could try to provide a better answer.
