[colorado] Brother In Community Corrections/work Release Coerced Terminally Ill Mother Into Signing Over Her House. How Can We Reverse It?

Location: Colorado.

My mother is in the final stages of a battle with cancer and is now in hospice care. I live out-of-state but am her designated Power of Attorney.

The core of our issue is a recent property transfer. This transfer happened less than 48 hours after one of her intensive chemotherapy treatments. Each treatment, combined with her heavy medication regimen (including Gabapentin at 800mg, four times a day, plus others and THC), would leave her physically and cognitively incapacitated for up to a week. Seizing on this predictable window of vulnerability, my brother had her sign the deed to her house over to him. He then had the document notarized and immediately filed it with the county clerk.

This is the culmination of a long history of abuse and domestic violence, which is why she had an active restraining order against him at the time.

My brother is a convicted felon with multiple felonies and is currently an inmate in a county work-release program. His actions—violating a court order and orchestrating a major financial contract—are serious breaches of his program's rules.

Actions Taken So Far: I have already taken the following official steps: * Filed a formal report with Adult Protective Services (APS). * Reported the situation to the Sheriff's Department, citing the restraining order violation and potential elder financial exploitation. * Informed my brother's case manager at the Community Corrections program about these violations.

My mother is on a very limited income, so hiring an expensive lawyer is a major challenge.

My Questions: * Now that reports have been filed with APS, the Sheriff, and his case manager, what is the most critical legal step to focus on to actually reverse the deed transfer? * What specific type of lawyer (e.g., probate litigator, real estate litigator, elder law attorney) is best suited to handle the civil lawsuit required to get the house back? * How can we best leverage the ongoing investigations (APS, Sheriff) and his violations (restraining order, work-release rules, felon status) in a civil case to void the deed? * Given that the deed was notarized, what is the process to challenge its validity?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide, he’s been in and out of the system his whole life due to drug addiction and blames everyone but himself.
