I live with and take care of my mom. My sister has POA and she is always saying she is going to take my house, my name is on the deed, and change my mom's will. She also told me because she has POA she can come into my house anytime she wants and do whatever she wants. Is any of this true?

A POA is limited to the specific stipulations in the document; these stipulations usually address financial and medical matters, not legal matters. Your sister is limited by the stipulations in the POA and cannot legally take your house or change your mother's will. Also, she cannot enter your house at will and do whatever she wants, even though your mother lives with you.
I strongly suggest that you immediately consult with an attorney who specializes in elder care, POAs, wills, etc., to clarify the provisions of the POA.
Your story is interesting :) as my Uncle who is a Dentist care's for my Grandmother ( age 97 ) and HE thinks because he pays someone to care for her him and his wife are entitled to her 20 acres' and old vintage house ! there is also another sibling involved here and a deceased sibling w/ 3 children ( that are all on the will ) He had my Grandmother sign it over 3 years ago............She did not even know what she was signing .....
If your Mom is declared mentally incompetent by a Dr her will can never be changed. Take that into consideration.
Hello, you mean "once" there is a "WILL" in place it cannot be changed ? or over-road ? the reason I ask is my Uncle is a Dentist and care's for my Grandmother ( age 97 ) and she lives in his BIG house !! long story short 4 years ago HE had her sign over her 20 acrea's and her old vintage house !
NO ! POA's cannot benefit financially !!!
Wrong! In Missouri at least one who has DPOA can be paid for their services.
There is even a place on the dpoa paperwork to write in the amount you are to be paid.
