    You would need to prove abuse for the power of attorney and also prove your mother was unfit at the time it was signed.

    You file a law suit ( hire an attorney) and you charge her or report her to the police for fraud.

    But if they have a POA, they may sign for your mom. Selling or giving her house away and then evicting your mom would not be in mom best interest and could be seen as a fraud.
    Your Mom can revoke the POA at any time and can dispute the signing.

    First, please don't ask the same question in multiple places, especially not using another thread. I've merged your posts for you.

    As noted, if you think your sister is abusing the POA then get an attorney and fight it.

    This happens all the time, try to get an attorney to threaten her unless she cancels the power of attorney by signing a "Power of Attorney Revocation Form" or you will take her to court. Sometimes the bark is better than the bite in these situations

    Threaten her with what? And what good will relinquishing the POA do with respect to the property having been transferred? By the way, only the person who issued the POA can "revoke" it. But the person who was given POA can relinquish it. And the mother can't revoke it if she is no longer competent.

    The only recourse for the OP is to file suit to cancel the transfer on the grounds that the mother was not competent to issue a POA.
