You might think about having your mother gift you the structure now in exchange for giving her a life estate in the apartment, if she's willing to do so. If not, you might consider buying out her interest at an agreed price and still giving her a life tenancy for nominal or no rent. (Of course, make sure the property was constructed with all necessary permits, so that at least that won't become an issue.)
