If title was in joint tenancy, there's nothing you can do to remove your sister's name. She owns the property now as the surviving joint tenant. You may sue your sister for exercising undue influence over someone who suffered from diminished capacity in order to force her to give up some interest in the property. You may also want to consider a lawsuit for financial elder abuse.
