In addition to a Summons, there is also a "Complaint", which is a document that states the claims they are making. In my state, it has to be served with the Summons, but I understand that such is not the case in all states. If your Mom was not given the Complaint along with the Summons, it will be on file at the court clerk's office- go get a copy.
The Complaint will state what their beef is with you, and I'm thinking that MarkB has it right- since its the property next door, there is some sort of boundary issue or encroachment that showed up on the title report.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
