Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Deeds

Before my parents passed a relative had power of attorney,who then signed their deed to their property over into his mother's name,and on the same day the mother had the deed drawn back up and then signed it back to her son(power of attorney),My parents had no will so my relative's name is on the deed now and there are loans against the property,can a power of attorney do this?...and with it being a few years can my siblings and I do something about it we don't want to lose our parents property because the power of attorney needed to get hiself out of debt?
