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. When an entity is trying to get clear title to property, they have to name anyone who is clouding that title in their foreclosure suit.
You need to have an attorney look at it, of course, but I wouldn't get too panicky at this point- its probably easily cleared up. And just because the lawsuit is for $150,000, it doesn't mean they are seeking any money from you- its much more likely its just to clear up a clouded title.
Oh, and when selecting a lawyer, don't pick Wisbaker- if you think you've got troubles now, just wait until you countersue Bank of America! That "giant sucking sound" will be your money being vacuumed out of your wallet!
