If my mother wants to give her house for taking care of her and she wants to put it in writing and have it notarized, will it hold up legally?
I believe that some of my siblings will fight it. She already has a Will in place.

You should consult an attorney to draw up the document for your mother transferring title to the house to you. If that is done while she is alive, it will not matter what it says in the will about the house because it will not be hers to give away at that time. You may want to have the will redone after she transfers title to the house, just to be completely clear about things.
