If your mother is still competent she can change that. If she is not you may need to be appointed guardian.

I agree with the above answer. If she is still compentent, she can appoint you power of attorney for her for both financial and healthcare matters. If she is not compentent, you can seek guardianship of her person and estate through probate court. If you need any help with this, please my office, http://www.socrateslegal.com.
