Do i have rights since i am the aunt?

My sister put me and another lady as poa's of her baby so she could get her probation figured out. The lady that has the baby all the time really don't let me see her.She removes her from the room if we're at the same event.This lady is not even related to the baby i am.Don't i have more rights to the baby than she since i am the aunt to the baby?Can i go and tell her i want the baby at my house?

First of all your sister cannot give either of you power of attorney,power of attorney is given to someone in the family to take care of a person in the family that is unable to make decitions on their own do to an illness or injury making them incapiable to do so for their self. Your sister can give you consent to file for legal guardianship of your niece. It needs to be a family member. This has to go though the court it is not legal for your sister to just sign a statement giving the rights of her child to anyone. You need to talk to her and ask her to do this. When she gets her pobation in order then she can file a motion with the court to terminate your guardianship. You can go on line under free legal forms to get the guardianship papers. Hope this helps. your sisiter can go with you to get the baby this other person does not have the baby legally.
