Transfer to new bank account

Hello,

There's currently a problem with my bank account that is linked to my paypal account and I need the cash badly.
So I thought of linking my mom's bank account to my paypal account so I can deposit the money. 
The problem is the name registered in the personal information will be used and we need to have the same name

so that I can transfer the money. If I change my name in my profile to my mother's name, will the money

transfer to her bank account be valid? will it reach my mom's account?

You can't change a paypal account from one person to another.

You can only change a name if its a minor typo or for legal reasons.

So If I link a new bank account in settings, which is my mom's bank account.
I won't be able to put my money there even If I change my name in account owner information?
And if so should I make a paypal account for my mom  that is linked to her bank account and send the money there?
