Dave, here in Indiana at least, and I suspect its close to the same in your jurisdiction, when the real estate is sold, the Tenants (your mom) rights most likely (could still depend on other things) RUN WITH THE LAND, so she basically retains whatever rights she had before. One can ONLY convey whatever rights he or she has in real estste or less rights BUT NOT ANY MORE so the sale was, as a matter of law, SUBJECT TO tenants rights. Say for example a tenant has a 10 year written lease and the land were sold, the tenant STILL HAS THAT LEASE even if there's a new owner (again still subject to perhaps lease terms or other agreements, not many absolutes in the law lol)
So that being said, what rights did you mother have is the question...sounds like, absent any writing to the contrary, she had a verbal month to month (assuming she paid monthly rent) tenancy meaning either her or the landlord (and now the new landlord/owner) could terminate the same given a months (or rental pay periods) notice. Past procedures and practices (like she paid once a month or once a year) could be admissible as evidence to establish just what the terms of the tenancy were...
There are strategies a lawyer might advise her to use to try and acquire new rights with the new owner or preserve whatever rights she has but thats a wholeeeeeee other possibly complicated subject NOT for here..
CONSULT WITH LOCAL COUNSEL FAMILIAR WITH KENTUCKYS LANDLORD TENANT AND REAL ESTATE LAW but this is the best short n free professional legal opinion I have to offer based on such little information, SO NO WARRANTY MIND YOU.. Its worth just what you pay NOTHING lol but Im glad to help.
CAUTION dont hang your hat too much on any lay opinions or what the brother in law or a neighbor says, although such advice may??? well be correct and for sure its well intended. When a legal question is asked everyone crawls out of the woodwork and is an expert it seems and some simple sounding question could actually be quite complex soooooooo proceed with caution...
