The only places you could check would be at her attorney's office or at the local probate court. Some courts allow persons to file a Will for safekeeping until their death at which time the Will can be retrieved and submitted for probate.
Otherwise you need to start searching. See the related question link for more information about where to search.

Ask one of them. Other than that there is no other researchable way. Such documents are not generally required to be filed with the public records unless there is real estate involved. In that case a copy of the power of attorney would be recorded in the land records with any transaction that affects the real estate.

If that is the case a legal guardian would require appointment by the probate court and you should discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in family law and probate.
