Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Estate

My father died in 2001,as I understand it all of his money in his accounts and two homes are consider as estate. The one home which my mom lives in, states in his will that it belonged to my mom and the rest to be distributed to her and the children. The problem is one of the siblings who my father gave a power of attorney sold the other house under our nose. I understand that when he died that didn't apply anymore. Recently, I found out that the property was sold in 2003 with a power of attorney and sold the house. I asked my mom if she had ever signed a power of attorney and she said definite not. Shouldn't the attorney who wrote the deed not have done so because it was part of his estate. How can I reclaim this house for my mom. In additon,is this a misconduct of the attorney for going forward on the tranfer of ownership. By the way the deed indicates that my sibling and the buyer (her ex - husband)are husband and wife which they have not been for several years. Does he have the legal right to keep the house? He claim that while he lived in that house unmarried with my sister he spend money remodeling it the funny part of it they lived in thet house for more than 16 years and never paid any rent even though payment was due.
