You can file a guardianship proceeding. In the proceeding, you can request that you or your sister be appointed as guardian -or- the court will appoint a third party as guardian.

If she is not mentally incapacitated, have her sign a POA. If she is, you will need to petition
the court for a guardian.

If she has become incapacitated and there is no Power of Attorney, your only choice is to file for guardianship which requires a court proceeding.
