If mother conveyed property to her son by a valid deed then he is the new owner. She cannot nullify a deed once she has signed it and it has been recorded in the land records.

If son granted mother a mortgage in the property and she reserved the right to foreclose in that mortgage document she can take the property back by foreclosure if he defaults on the mortgage.

Once you transfer your property by deed you no longer have any interest in that property. The grantee on the deed is the new owner. Many parents reserve a life estate when they transfer real estate to their children. The life estate allows them to possess the property for the duration of their life. If mother didn't reserve any rights in the property then daughter can "put her out". Mother should consult with an attorney to determine if she has any rights.

Mother has died and left her house to the son and daughter. No mortgage. What do we need to do now to change the deeds?

Mother's estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass legally to her heirs. Once the estate has been probated title is in the heirs a deed is not necessary to prove ownership because probate records are part of the public record regarding land ownership.Many people choose to have a new deed drafted and the requirements vary from state to state. Some states require the use of a straw. You should ask the attorney who is handling the estate to advise you about executing the necessary deeds to get the property into your names in the land records.
