Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Iowa

my MIL had dementia with paranoia, after her diagnosis she quitclaim deeded the house she owned with my husband so he could only get 50% instead of the entire house. She died last week. We didn't know she did it until now. Can we get it reversed based on her mental state? She had a POA help her who is a non-family member. He also helped her change her will so our 13 year old son gets everything and my husband nothing (except his 50% of the house). Its a horrible nighmare and the lawyer who did it all is also the lawyer for this POA. We are waiting to agree on an executor. They named a bank and then this POA in case the bank declined. Well the bak declined and they want this 88 year old POA to be executor. We had alwyer write them and say under no terms do we want him to be executor. They are looking for another bank to agree to be executor and trustee. I'd like it to be my husband but we know they hate us for some reason and wouldn't allow it so to try to settle the estate we'll agree to another bank. So far this is racking up the lawyer fees for us.
