You need an estate attorney to straighten out the mess. She cannot taken the money and run from his estate without paying his bills.

These cases are some what difficult, and unless your father was really rich, the only people who will benefit are the lawyers.
So, what to do. Get a lawyer. Try and get assets, accounts etc blocked. The lawyer sits down with her, all smiles and negotiates return of some of the money. She wins, you win, the lawyers win.
If you try to get everything back, then chances are she and you will have nothing and the lawyer will have a nice new shiny BMW.

I need to know you kids ages? Also, I need to know if you have proof of this woman's' improprieties to this marriage with your father. Did he ever question her promiscuity?
Surely her actions thereafter show her greed for money exists...i just re-read your question and see that she was NOT his wife. That under direst he (not in right state of mind) gave her power of attorney? Is that what you meant..POA Power of Attorney? YOU CAN FIGHT THAT, YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY...

if he changed his will while on morphine, you may be able to have the change voided. people have to be mentally capable of making such a decision in order for it to be enforceable.
