Who would your BIL want to have his POA? He can very easily change that, without even having a meeting with his children. Did a lawyer draw the original POA up? Could you take him to that same lawyer? Or help him find an Elder-Law attorney? That lawyer can also help re-establish his access to his own accounts.

It sounds like BIL's main impairments are physical, as a result of an accident. Does he also have some dementia, do you know? If so, it is possible his personality has changed somewhat and he had not been letting the cleaning people in.

I hope you can arrange a family meeting, and try to understand what is going on, from everyone's point of view.

Unless he is mentally incompetent, and it sounds like that isn't the case, he can still be in charge of his own financial affairs. A POA grants powers to be an assistant, it doesn't take away his rights to handle his own affairs.
I think there has to be more going on with BIL than meets the eye, for instance nothing is preventing him from being clean but himself, this could be just the visible part of the iceberg, there may be hidden reason's why you have found things in such a sorry state.

All he has to do is meet with an attorney who can draft a rescission of the DPOA authority and create a new one, then notify the daughter she no longer has any authority.
