Youngest brother has been indoctrinated into a Religious Cult. How do I inform youngest that our mom has removed him from all inheritance or do we just wait until Mom passes when he thinks he is getting his share?
That is a hill I would wait to die on personally. If you know that is really what your mother wants and does not intend to change her mind - it is likely safest to keep that bit of information to yourself until the will is executed. At which point it can't be undone (unless it is contested, but that takes quite a bit of work, whereas pretending to come back to the fold or manipulating mom are a much easier proposition).
But are you POA, or are you the executor of the will? Or are you both? Because as POA you have nothing to do with the will/inheritance. POA ends when your mother passes. Executor responsibilities begin when the will is executed.

I'm in that boat, also, and have decided not to inform anyone until mom's passing. At that time the attorney will notify siblings.
