Since there is no lease, they have brought her to a lawyer- said we are squatters- and are now stating they are going to toss us out, we have nowhere to go. I need to know how to get infront of judge so courts can determine her mental capacity. My siblings say they have POA and they just want us gone, don't make it difficult. I am on SSDI and have no where to go. They have kept her from us since Oct. No birthdays, holidays or special events celebrated EVEN THOUGH she says she wants to see us- they say we influence her too much. Please if you have ANY where I can tun for help I welcome all solutions. They have removed her free will and yet say she still makes the decisions. I have been to a dermatologist because of stress my hair is falling out and my doctor sould like to put me on Lexapril for depression but I hate pills of any kind. Please help me.

You say you and your children "were moved in". Who moved you in. What was the understanding of compensation for your care? What contract in writing do you have to prove such a thing? If nothing, you are in trouble here.
Either your Mom has the mental competency to make her own decisions or she does NOT. Is she diagnosed with dementia? She has in fact, when not demented, appointed them as her POA. If they wish now to rent her home for some income toward her care, or sell the home to pay for her care, they are able to do that if your mother has been DIAGNOSED as incompetent in her own decisions.
I would, because you are being deprived of her altogether, consult with an Elder Law Attorney. As to moving, it will be difficult for them to remove you. You are honestly in most places considered a tenant and right now the law will side with them. Apparently you cared for her free and without a contract. We see this happen VERY often, that a person moves in for housing and to give care and ends up homeless and jobless. Unfortunately you are going to have to pay for an hour of an attorney's time. Likely 350.00. But that is your safest bet to keep housing for a while. You have no funds to take on a guardianship case, and wouldn't be likely to win if they have POA. I assume the "have too much influence " means you are attempting to get her to say she wishes to return home, something they feel isn't in Mom's best interest. That is likely their thinking, that Mom ends upset after your visits.
Sorry you are going through this, but this means a job and means getting your own housing in all likelihood in the long run. I wish you good luck. You do have a history of elder care that may get you a compensated job.
