Wesley:

It sounds as though whoever's care mom was removed from has lost any court battles to continue to care for her? I believe she already has a state appointed guardian. This doesn't happen without family notification to SOMEONE who is considered caregiver and next of kin. Said notification may have already been made, but not told to you.

We can't really have any judgements on any of this without good information from you.
That information would include:
1. How old is mom
2. Does mom have dementia and what is her physical condition
3. With whom did mom live and was that in her own home or theirs
4. When was mom taken and by whom
5. Who is POA or next of kin and did they attend a conservatorship hearing
And much more.

But I will say this:
If the authorities removed your mom from care of the ENTIRE family then there is good reason, whether you personally were informed or not. The sad truth is that many in the know call APS "ineffective/worthless" because they so seldom investigate, or take action when they DO investigate and witness problems.

Whoever is in charge of mom's care WILL BE informed. Whether that person informs the rest of the family of the facts or not, I cannot guess.
In point of fact, to remove a senior from the care of all family, forbidding visitation speaks to a finding of dire circumstances. This may proceed to a court case with accusations of abuse. The person who was in charge of care may want to have an attorney at the ready in case complaints are lodged.

Taking state custody/state guardianship of a senior is a drastic and very rare circumstance. It involves court action. There will be/will have been court summons to attend almost certainly.

I would consider the family consider consult with an attorney.
I hope you will update us.

I just must add that if your mother's home is up for sale now, this cannot be new. The courts and guardianship cases do not proceed quickly, nor certainly does sale of the home. A court case you are not personally aware of may have already occurred. If the home is for sale then it sounds to me that mom already has a state appointed guardian acting for her, selling her home to provide for her care.

I agree, the State is now involved and has assigned a guardian. You need to talk to the guardian. Like said, there had to be a hearing and judgement. That should be on file in the County the hearing was done.
