My sister would not let me be apart of anything

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but a POA ends when the person for whom it was for dies, and the POA no longer has any say about anything.
It is then the executer of the will that takes over from there. So hopefully your mom had a will and it is all explained in there as to who gets what.

Your Mom's trust was created by your Mom (or your Mom and Dad). Depending if an account was put in the trust, then whatever the Will says is what will happen and is not your sister's doing or under her control. PoA authority ends the moment someone dies. If for some reason an account was not put in the trust, it may become part of probate. With a trust, your sister (as PoA) had no legal power to change anything your Mom had in place. If your Mom just recently passed, it takes time for things to get sorted out after someone dies. Who is the trustee? Who is the Executor?

Your mother's estate will be distributed by her executor/trustee according to her wishes made during the creation of her will and her trust.
Have you discussed the trust and will with the Executor/Trustee? Have you received any notifications since your mom's death of the distribution of her Trust and her Will? Are you a beneficiary of either?

If you would like an attorney to check on the status of anything do attend one for options in your own case. Trusts are not registered, but wills will be filed in probate court.
Good luck.

If your sister was joint on accounts they now belong to her 100%.

As POA, sister was not suppose to allow you to be a part of anything. She was your Moms representative and as such, anything she did was between her and Mom. If Mom had Dementia, Moms finances were still private and sister was really not allowed to share that information. Same with the medical POA.

The POA is now revoked. It stops at death. Now the Executor takes over. The Will goes to probate. The Executor has to inform the beneficiaries and interested parties that the Will is being Probated and include a copy of the Will or have it sent upon request. Its the Executors job to make sure all debts are paid. If a house is involved, maybe that needs to be sold. Your not entitled to half of anything unless its said in the Will.

Probate cannot be closed until a certain amount of time after the death. My state 8 months. It can take a while to close out. It took me 19 months to sell Moms house.
Trust, that is separate from a Will. May have a different person as Trustee than the Executor. Again its how it reads in how much you will get if anything. What you receive depends on how the Will and Trust read. Once the Will is filed with Probate, its public info. If your sister does not give you a copy, you can get one from the County Clerk.
