Estate Planning lawyer at Elder Law Office of Mark Schaefer PC
Leaving aside the practical question of whether this is a smart thing to do, the legal answer is that it depends on what your Security Deed or Deed to Secure Debt says. In most standard documents, any transfer of ownership interest is an event of default that would allow your Lender, usually at their option, to declare the full amount due and to foreclose if you don't pay. So, read your security instrument, and to be extra safe, get written permission from your lender to do this before you do it. However, even before that, you may want to discuss the wisdom of such a move with an estate planning attorney. There may be better options.

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Only your mother or, under court instructions, a guardian can change her Will.  However, agents under a POA frequently must sell things mentioned in the Will in order to pay for someone's care.  That is not hanging the Will.  However, if you have evidence tending to prove that assets were taken and hidden, please discuss this with a local probate attorney.

It appears that this is a Medicaid Asset Protection Question / Medicaid Estate Recovery question. The answer to this is complex. A trust can protect assets. Transfers of property in certain situations can be exempt for the purpose of determining Medicaid eligibility.  You need to discuss your specifics with a GA elder law attorney.
