You can't add yourself to their request without their agreement. If your mother is not legally competent, the power of attorney will be granted by a Court and you can ask the Judge to include you, or name you instead of them. What the judge will do depends on who well your argue your case.

Clarification

You haven't added enough detail and you are confused about your legal terms. You haven't mentioned who the principal is. In the United States, Powers of Attorney are not granted by judges.A person must be legally competent to grant a POA and it must be done voluntarily. The principal chooses their attorney(s)-in-fact. No one has the right to "add themselves" to a Power of Attorney.

On the other hand, if someone has petitioned to be appointed guardian over a legally incompetent person you can't ask the judge to "include you". Rather you would need to file your own petition. The court would launch an investigation as to the best appointment for the ward. However, we don't know what you're asking about.
