My husbands father just died and his sister had power of attorney. 5 days before he died she signed over all of his assets including real estate to her self.He was not married and my husband and his sister were his only heirs.Do they have any right to this property? Is there a legal way to stake claim?

Yes...your husband can file an action to declare his sister's actions to be invalid and have them set aside. He should meet with an attorney immediately before his sister disposes of any of the assets.
