Ask an accountant before doing this. You may be creating a tax issue for your mom.

I agree he should talk to a tax expert before he does it.

But if he "gifts" his mom money to pay off a loan, if the amount of the gift is over the annual exclusion amount ($14,000 the last I looked) it's the giver who has to pay the gift tax, not the receiver of the gift.

If it's a personal residence this is unlikely to be an issue. It would likely create a gift tax return for the donor.
