More details to this question:
My mother added my step sister to the deed and want to add me. However the lawyer we saw expressed that I can not be added to the deed because my step sister is power of attorney. Is this correct?
That doesn't sound right to me. If your mother has given your step sister power of attorney, that doesn't mean that she can't do things for herself. She still has the right to make her own decisions and if she wants to ass you to the deed she can, but your step sister may have to also sign the deed.
