You gave your Mom the Transfer of Liability Form and she didn't go for almost 3 weeks. You forgot to actually cancel the insurance. So of course this is all their fault and they are the one's in the wrong.
Unless you can prove that your mom had separate insurance from another company in her name, this money is most likely owed. Even if she did it is going to be hard to get the money back because they already provided the service..even though you had no claims. If they give you this refund..you would actually be in violation of the law by having an uninsured vehicle. While you don't want to hear this, unless you are leaving out a lot of information it sounds like if anyone owes this money it is your mom, so are you going to go to her and have her pay you back?
Also, I have no idea where you got the idea you had to physically go to the DMV. If you actually read the Transfer of Liability Form you can mail, or even submit the form on-line. A copy of the form is from the link below.

By the way, just be lucky that their isn't a Bill of Sale. As with that proof both you and your mom would technically be in violation of the law(don't you just love CA and all of their laws) as the CA DMV requires that form to be sent within 5 days of the transaction.
