Legal Question in Elder Law in Florida

Power of attorney

My Uncle left a cd with my name on it and also my sibling the Power of Attorney which is a sibling cashed the CD and never gave the money to the other siblings. Is this legal because she is the power of attorney of my uncles estate, even though my name was on the CD as well?
