Dont call me but ask a local MI lawyer. My thought would be he could challenge any transfer done by you via the POA or by mom when she was under your care. But, he would have to prove that she was incompetent at the time or under undue influence or coercion. This is hard to prove and any attorney he may speak with will advise hiim so. These types of allegations need to be proven by clear and convincing evidence.
