How can a common US citizen defend and protect himself in today's judicial system when mistakenly accused of crimes?
Unfortunately, even though the United States has a good judicial system, terrible mistakes are made. The only way to defend against the charges is to have good legal representation and hope that you are in a state with a good system. Educate yourself so that you can stay on top of your attorney and force them, if necessary, to do their duty in mounting your defense. If you feel they aren't acting in your best interest then complain to the court that appointed them if you have a court appointed defense counsel.Unfortunately, even though the United States has a good judicial system, terrible mistakes are made.

Your sister has power of attorney for your mom and your mom has passed. Your sister is not in good health. How do you revoke her power of attorney to be with yourself or your brother?
A POA automatically becomes null and void at the death of the grantor. The deceased person's estate (assets and liabilities) are then under the jurisdiction of the probate court in which the deceased resided upon death. If no executor was named in the deceased's wil or no valid will exist, interested parties can file with the probate court to be appointed executor and/or the court can appoint someone if there are no 'suitable candidates' for the position.
