What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
My Mom is 74 and just bought a house. My sister "tricked" her into signing her as a power of attorney. How does she go about nullifying it?

I'm not certain what buying a house and granting a POA have to do with one another. But, to revoke the power:

IC 30-5-10-1
Revocation of power; record
Sec. 1. (a) Except as otherwise stated in the power of attorney, an executed power of attorney may be revoked only by a written instrument of revocation that:
(1) identifies the power of attorney revoked; and
(2) is signed by the principal.
(b) A revocation under subsection (a) is not effective unless the attorney in fact or other person has actual knowledge of the revocation.
(c) If an executed power of attorney was recorded under IC 30-5-3-3, the revocation of the power of attorney must:
(1) be recorded; and
(2) reference the book and page or instrument number where the instrument creating the power of attorney is recorded.
