I think that the best thing for you to do is to talk with your Father and have him tale care of this. If he is not competant then you need to become his conservator and guardian of his estate. I would not as the POA change any document to your favor but rather bring an action against your sister to enjoin her (stop her) from doing anything with your Father's assets. Seek legal help asap. Good luck.
