Although I am not licensed in LA and advise calling a local attorney regarding this transaction but as a general rule if your parents bought the Mobile home together unless your fathers will specifically left his half to the children and made clear it would not directly go to his wife than on average the marital property owned jointly becomes the sole property of the remaining spouse
AS I said double check with a local attorney but if this is the case than no one has to sign because your mother has the right to do this. Furthermore she has the right to do whatever she chooses with her assets leaving them to and choosing not to leave them to whomever she pleases
