My sister went to her attorney and got a POA on our mother and she never discussed with me. The only way I found out was that she let it slip out of her mouth. I was shocked, I was really hurt by this. I know my mom has Alzheimer's, but I asked my mom did she sign any papers and she yes, but she didn't know what she signed. I just don't know why my sister did this. It is only the two of us and I am the oldest. What can I do about this?

Difficult and awkward situation! You do not explain exactly what type of power of attorney your sister has. There are both financial and medical powers of attorney and each state varies in requirements. The fact that you are the oldest child makes no difference in POAs.
I suggest you discuss your situation with your attorney to decide the best action to take now. As your mother has Alzheimer's and may not remember exactly what she signed will be an important fact in your favor.
See your attorney asap. If your mother is in a nursing home they will give you a copy. If your sister is willing get a copy from her.
Whoever made your mother's will is the first pick for your choice as he knows the family situation.
Very difficult situation there. Are you having reservations that your sister can't be trusted?
Thankfully my parents are alive and well. There are 3 kids and I'm in the middle. My mother was doing their will last year and put me as the executor - once this got to my sister-in-law it caused quite a bit of friction, as her husband, my brother is the oldest...
