Have her ask the mortgage company to issue the 1098 in her name and SSN. Yes, as long as she has documents in support of the payments and her being on the mortgage you can deduct it. Be sure to report it on Mom's taxes and then back it out with an explanation that it was deducted by daughter's SSN. You should submit a Statement of Explanation on daughter's return, as well.
