The question ids likely whether your mother had the capacity to convey the real property at the time the deed was signed. Was she coerced? Was ther fraud in the inducement t sign? Did she have the mental capacity to understnd what she was doing? These are a matter for a Court or jury to decide.
As for personal property, it does not follow that a conveyance of real property includes personalty in a structure/house located on the property unless this is specifically provided for in a conveyance.
