The most likely answer is no. If your mother hired someone to perform the work, then a mechanic's lien is not an option. If your mother did not file a preliminary notice or record a notice of construction lien, then a mechanic's lien is not an option. If the work was completed over a year ago, then a mechanic's lien is not an option.

That does not mean that your mother does not have a claim for relief against your grandmother's estate or trust, but you will likely have some statute of limitations issues depending on when the work was completed.
