My dad was removed from the home that him and my stepmother owned. He had a start of dementia and she made horrible choices in group homes where he was abused because she said they couldn't afford it. I'm the daughter and received POA in November by a good Lawyer and Judge but in the APS records she changed the will in October and did a Intra Family Transfer taking my dad off the home he paid for in March. Her lawyer says she has a letter stating he would need her help due to the start of Dementia.Is this legal? I suspect her niece that came to see my dad did something.

No one can change a Will other than the person who wrote it. Never heard of someone being able to take a person off a deed. This would be a no no if he needs Medicaid. See a lawyer.

You need to take this to an actual elder law attorney to know if what was done is legal or not. There are too many vagaries in your post and lack of details. You don't even tell us what state this is happening in, what years, and whether your have PoA or legal guardianship through the courts.

Usually, "the start of dementia" is not bad enough for someone to require a group home. And the niece who "did something"... no idea what that "something" was but an attorney would definitely need to know and be able to legally find out.
