My my sister said that my mom had dementia, and when in blue hair and got her to sign a POA, a living trust. My mom wants it out of her name, she just told us this news. We can't really afford a lawyer. Is there some other option?
Are there any kind of bundles, packages?

First section of that other post, from 9-25-21:
"So my question is or what I need to say is she went ahead and act like a doctor when she diagnosed my mother or something which comes down to she was money hungry and convinced and bullied my mom into giving her power of attorney and to write a living trust and there's seven of us in the family my mom's raised to sell one passed away the oldest funny thing is my mom despises this one daughter and she did it behind my mom's back moment my other sister that's a different story she's trying to do the same thing how or what can we do about this my mom wants it back and my mom's never been to a doctor she's perfectly fine like I said she forgets things she's 85 she's been the best mom to all of us she's never cheated she's never done drugs she's never been drink alcohol since everyone out on date the last 30 years, she doesn't deserve this and we don't know what to do, anyway you have any recommendations, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU 🙏,' "
Posters have indicated that it's difficult to follow the post, and I would agree.
There's a second paragraph, similar in context to the first.
Perhaps you could eliminate discussion of family dynamics and just address the facts??
And it also helps if you respond to posters. The earlier post doesn't seem to have the benefit of your input or insight on the advice the responding posters offered.
Are you aware that no one responds directly to you via e-mail? You yourself need to respond here, in this thread, or in the earlier thread.
"...when in blue hair and got her to sign a POA, a living trust." I'm not able to understand what blue hair has to do with the issues, although I suspect this is probably a typo. If so, contact the Admins via the section at the bottom of this page, and ask them to change the wording for you:

So, if your mother with dementia signed both a POA and Living Trust, there would be other ancillary documents as well. In my experience, a Will with a "pourover" clause is also executed, and any deed or Bill of Sale for real estate or other assets, to "fund" the trust.
From what documents does your mother want her name removed? And why did she sign them? More explanation is needed.
If your mother had dementia, there may be an issue whether or not she was sufficiently cognizant to sign any of the documents. So they may even be invalid.
If she signed them and now has changed her mind, she should have an attorney rescind and/or terminate them. This isn't a DIY project.
As to bundling estate planning documents, some attorneys do offer this, and would probably include powers of attorney, a will, and if a trust is involved, that plus a deed to transfer any real property and sometimes a Bill of Sale for all other nonfinancial assets. Some attorneys will also handle title transfer of financial assets such as stocks.
I think another issue though is the role your sister played if she encouraged or persuaded your mother to execute documents, especially if Mom couldn't understand what she was signing. Did an attorney prepare these documents?
Are there assets in the trust? If yes, they should be used to hire a lawyer who specializes in trusts.
