Yes she can. But it will depend whether she has any source of income of her own. Also the earnings of your father will be an important factor. She can also claim residence in the property. Further, she can also claim share if she contributed to build the house.
My advice as human being - Take care of your mother. She is too old to get into this sort of legal mess - so resort to court procedure only if absolutely necessary.
