A POA expires with the person.  Hopefully your mother named you and your sisters co-executors in your Will. Because your description is cut off after "had my mom do a test at a clinic to see if she," it is not clear whether you are asking whether your mother had legal capacity to do the things to which you apparently object but may have suffered undue influence or lacked capacity to do them with or without undue influence.
