My sister lives in Boca and is on disability. She was an LPN and never renewed her license. She hit an 80 something year old man and was arrested and will never be able to practice nursing in Florida again. She told my mother that she wanted to take care of her in her dying days (this is because she wants the money and is 0afraid that if she isnt here my mother will spend her hard earned money on herself) My sister told my mother she should give her, her inheritance now. I told my mother absolutely NOT! There is no inheritance until you are gone and all bills are paid off. My sister got my mother to give her my mothers airline account and whalla she is here. My sister claims to be a born again Christian and speaks terribly to my mother. My sister is a Christian when it suits her. I told my sister that satin takes on many forms and she is one of them. It's just a mess and I want to protect my mother. I told my sister I would split (my mother put the house in my name as I am the on who has always been here) the house with her and give her half the money but thats not good enough for her.
She isn't that far. But she is easily manipulated by my sister. My mom calls me as I wont go to the house because my sister starts arguments and I don't want my mom to get upset. I have told my mom she can come to my house anytime (she still drives) but my sister is hovering over her 24/7. Mom told me today that she wants my sister to leave but I dont know how I can make her leave.
If your sister has power of attorney for another person, she cannot have "switched" it to anyone. If she didn't have POA, she can't possibly have switched it to herself, either.
If she has *given* power of attorney to someone, though, and she is mentally well, she can do as she pleases and she doesn't have to tell anyone - though if she has switched it from you to somebody else, it would be silly not to tell you.
So: who is the power of attorney for, and what switch do you think might have taken place? - that is, from whom to whom?
I am the POA. My sister is trying to have my mother switch everything into her name. POA, will, trusts, house. She has lived in Florida for 17 years and has decided to come to NY ( after not coming for 17 years, not ever when our father passed in April) My father had nothing, so therefore she didn't bother to come and now all of the sudden she shows up to try and manipulate my mother. She was here last year for a few months and did so much damage that my mothers lawyer dropped my mother as a client.
Was this your sister's POA? If not, then I don't see how she could change it (not sure what you mean by "switched") unless there was a special clause in the document giving her that authority.

She is at my moms and I personally dont think she has any intentions of leaving. She is on section 8 housing so she wont lose her apt in florida,.
She is on disability because she slipped on some stairs and a year after that she jumped out of window.
I sometimes think my mother feels sorry for her as my mother created her behavior and enables her.
She hit an elderly man! How awful 😢.
Does your mom know her history?
All of us are familiar with people who are the same type of Christian as your sister, a ‘so called’ Christian so to speak, it means nothing!
They aren’t sincere. A hypocrite with a capital H.
I feel for you and your mom. Anyone that harms others in the name of God is despicable.
They justify all of their actions with their twisted version of the Bible.
They don’t follow any valid teachings, it’s ‘make it up as they go along.’ Very irrational and disturbing and in some cases dangerous people.
Is she living in your mom’s house?
Call APS and report her. She hit an elderly man.
State her abusive behavior and that she isn’t allowed to be an LPN any longer.
Why is she on disability?

I don’t blame you for not wanting to be involved with your sister.
I suppose that your mom is confused about how to handle this situation.
Do you have any thoughts about what could be done to make mom feel more comfortable?
It must be awkward for your mom and you. It sort of sounds like sis was basically a stranger before she arrived into town.
Did your mom long to see sis or had she accepted that she was distant and living her own life?
Does your mom distrust your sister? What reason did she give you for wanting her to leave?
So sorry that you are struggling with this situation.
