You would have to apply for Conservatorship.

I agree. You have to petition for Conservatorship, and explain to the court why the power of attorney should be dissolved -- e.g. she doesn't look after your son's best interests, or that the power of attorney was obtained while your son was not of sound mind, etc.

It depends on the power of attorney, and whether it was "durable" or not.
