Your mother would need to see an attorney. The general process would be for her to revoke the previous power of attorney and have a new power of attorney drafted. The exact process will depend on your mother's specific circumstances and level of competence. This is not legal advice & does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

Assuming that your mother is competent to revoke the power of attorney and execute of new one for you in Minnesota, that's the way to go. If she is not competent to do this, unfortunately you may need to set up a conservatorship which is costly and time consuming.
