I'm doing Probate for my spouse & getting sick staying in his mold filled house while getting it ready for sale. Mom said I could stay at her house which is currently empty since my sister put her in an assisted living w/o telling me. Sister is POA and has revenge issues. Mom said I could stay at her house indefinitely, sister will not let me. What is the next action can I take after Mom writes and signs her approval to me staying at her house? Appleton, WI.

Your mother can sign and record a new DPOA replacing your sister as agent or replacing her as agent with regard to real estate. Your mother can sue your sister for breach of her fiduciary duty: an agent does not have authority to overrule a decision made by the principal.
