Before my sister passed away, she said she had power of attorney over our mother. But our mother said she didn't give power of attorney, she just had her put on her bank account and let her take care of her bill and etc. I wanted to find out for sure for the wellbeing of my mother.

When your sister passed her POA, if there was one, was no more. So it really doesn't matter if she did or not. If Mom is competent, she can assign you POA.

Even if she did have some authority granted by your mother, since she's no longer living, it's irrelevant.   It may be that your sister didn't understand what being a proxy meant, and that the joint account was what she thought enabled her to act on your mother's behalf. 

But, have you searched your sister's home?
