As a son, is it obligatory for me to fast the remaining days that my deceased mother did not fast in the last twenty days of Ramadan?

If your mother passed away before completing the fast, her religious obligation ceased with her death, by scholarly consensus. Therefore, she is not required to fast the remaining days of Ramadan, as it is not permissible to assign religious obligations to the deceased after their death.
