It is doubtful that the lender will accept a discount to purchase your mother's note unless the note is in default or the lender is in distress and needs the money. When I handle a transaction such as this, my typical charge is $250.00 to process the payoff, prepare the assignment of the old lien to you, draw your loan documents, and record your Deed of Trust.

Contact the owner and holder of the note (the company receiving the payments will know who they are) and offer to purchase the mortgage at a discount. You are looking to purchase the mortgage and obtain a transfer of the lien. The lender might not be willing to sell at a discount, but I would ask.
