I'm not sure of the circumstances for removing her from the deed, but there are a lot of potential tax, estate, Medicaid and financial elder abuse issues with doing so, so I'd recommend discussing it with an attorney before doing it, just to be sure it's lawful to do and that it's the best for her situation.
The power of attorney should also be reviewed to ensure it allows the transaction and allows it to the transferee, to avoid any title problems later.
