A power of attorney does not need to be filed in court, and generally the parties don't have to "prove it" to others. Given that you don't know the status of the POA, no one here knows, and apparently there is a pressing issue, it appears you do need an elder care lawyer ASAP to handle your mother's affairs, or at least figure out what is going on. A general information website like this is not going to resolve the issues.
