Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

My Mom signed her home over to me just over three years ago; recently my siblings have been pressuring her to take her home back. She has lifetime estate and her attorneys sent me a letter stating I am not even allowed to enter the property without her consent. Can she just take the home back after I have owned it for 3 years and since I do own it, is it true Im not allowed in without consent?

It appears that you own the home and she has a life tenancy. She cannot "take back" the home unless you give it to her and she can keep you away from the house; however, it is yours to do as you like on her death.
