If the POA states that you can indeed sue on behalf of the principal (your Mother) then yes, you can take the steps necessary with regard to the loans. It ,ay be a good idea fot you to first have your Mother declared incompetant and have yourself appointed as the conservator of her estate then try and set aside the loans. I would speak with a lawyer in your area. Good luck.
