There is no harm in performing Umrah and Hajj on behalf of a deceased mother and dedicating their reward to her. If you are residing in Mecca or at a distance of qasr (the distance allowing for shortening prayers) from it, or if you are not from Mecca and performed Umrah then traveled a qasr distance and returned for Hajj as a mufrid (performing Hajj only, not combined with Umrah), then no damm (expiatory sacrifice) is required of you; either because you are considered among the residents of the Sacred Mosque, or due to your travel between Umrah and Hajj.
