Sounds like you need to see a lawyer who specializes in elder law.

As above. If someone is not competent, they cannot legally be doing anything with the POA (that's why you are supposed to do your POAs *before* you have a problem and need them!!) and it was not right for them to have done this. You may also want to contact your Adult Protective Services about the situation. .
