Can my mother sign over Power of Attorney for my father over to me

Hi, I live in Florida, and so does my mother. My father is in a nursing home in the state of Georgia, he can no longer speak or write or handle his affairs. As his wife, does my mother have power of Attorney? Can she sign that power over to me? Is there any form on your site that I can use.
