How To Untangle My Mom From Undue Influence

Location: Tennessee

My mom is in her 80s and two "friends", one of whom she's only known five months, recently convinced her to sign over her POA, executorship, and trusteeship of her trust. I previously held these positions for five years. One "friend" even inherited their child in mom's new will and trust, alongside my moms blood relations. They are selling one of her properties and have eyes to sell more. And when I talk to my mother she says she loves these people. That she trusts them more than she trusts her entire family. Telling us that we are the ones causing her pain by asking her to move closer to us, by telling her she is being swindled, and her friends are the only ones that understand her. They took her to a lawyer in a different county who did all the new paperwork. We are all begging her to see the danger she is in and she keeps digging in.

My mom and I have always had a good relationship. I live out of state, but we talk weekly and I visit a few times a year. She has a strong local support network. Mom is not abandoned or unloved. She has Parkinson's, but is still pretty sharp and does not have a dementia diagnosis. We had no idea these women were such a huge part of her life, as she didn't speak about them much.

I have evidence of undue influence in the form of text messages and audio recordings. Where the friends pushed for more and more control, pushing for a broad instead of limited poa, and disparaged me and the rest of the family, telling mom that we wouldn't honor her wishes etc. They've pushed mom away from her support system. They took her to a nursing home without telling her where they were taking her or telling anyone in her family. Where mom is unable to discuss new provisions in her trust and said that what was in it was not what she meant. Yet she continues to turn to her "friends."

We reported the situation to APS and they declined to investigate, because they said mom would have to admit she was being isolated/abused. We filed a bar complaint against the lawyer who drew up the new paperwork, as he allowed the "friends" to be a part of the process prior to them getting the POA. We retained a lawyer who said there likely isn't anything we can do right now, as my mom is competent, just brainwashed.

Is there anything else we can do? We are so scared mom is going to lose everything she has worked for.
