Your fasting on behalf of your mother with the intention of making up for her missed fasts is valid and you will be rewarded for it. This is a form of filial piety towards her. As for combining the intention of making up for your mother's missed fasts with a voluntary fast, there is a difference of opinion among scholars. It is better for the intention to be singular for fulfilling the debt on behalf of your mother.
