You are not stating your question very clearly, but this certainly sounds like something you should bring to the attention of the District Attorney's elder financial abuse unit for investigation.
This certainly sounds like an instance of elder abuse under the Welfare & Institutions Code as well as there being other "causes of action" by grammy, such as breach of contract. Because of the sums of money apparently involved, and the likely complexity of the issues, including your possible standing to bring suit, you should consult with an attorney experienced in "elder law" in your (or her) community. If there is a possibility of foreclosure, you should act quickly.
Such claims could be both criminal and civil matters. You can try to file a police report, report it to Social Services, and hire an attorney to bring legal action. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
