The first question would be: Do YOU believe that your mother knows what she's doing?
If your answer is "yes," go ahead and help her do what she wants to do, which is sign over the house to you. Yes, your siblings could contest the transfer, but the chances of a successful challenge are almost zero.

Before you do anything you should talk to a CPA to assess tax exposure and the possible loss of governmental benefits (if your mother has any) if you make the transfer.
