You probably need to file for conservatorship to take over her affairs and try to recover some money from him, but you should also think about reporting him to the police and calling Adult Protective Services to try to stop him as soon as possible.

You need to file for a Conservatorship over her, as a POA can not be signed by her now. The court proceeding will seek recovery of her assets from anyone who misappropriated them. Get a local attorney who does such actions.
