Legal counsel is essential in this situation.
Sounds like your mother was attempting to commit fraud related to eligibility for Medi-cal. Fortunately if one has "given away" property within the last five years, individuals are not eligible. While your mother should have consulted with a lawyer (without your sister involved) when this first occurred, what is done is done and now she needs help to regain her property. If your sister doesn't sign it back, your sister may be charged with elder financial abuse. This should be investigated if all else fails.

@wetdawgs my mom has no idea, she fell into what my sister said and at that time i wasnt living with her and now im back to her house to help her because i find out that her car and her house was transferred to my sister because she gave her false information. My mom has been asking for the car back and she gives her run around also for the property. We don't care about the car at this moment but we really wanted the property back to her name for she was the one who worked hard to maintain the home. My mom told me that she once asked for it to sign it back but my sister gave her run a round. I will be taking your advice. Thank you so much.

I was originally going to suggest that you draw up a grant deed granting the property back to your mom from your sister, however, now that I've read deeper into this conversation, I would suggest you need legal help.
However, I used to work in Title Insurance, and it sounds like if your sister decides not to deed the properties back under your mom's name, then the property legally belongs to your sister, I strongly urge you to seek legal counsel on this one.

Real estate agents are not legally competent to help you with this problem. You need an attorney.

my mom doesnt have any health plan. My sister not sure but tricked her that the only way she can get health care through government (medi-Cal) is if she doesnt have any propert under her name so my mom fell into it and transferred her house and her car under my sisters name since 2007. They went to Social worker to apply for Medi-Cal but find out she cant get approved. Now its 2010 the property and the car is still under my sisters name. She wants it back under her name since she didnt get approved anyways but were afraid she will not sign it back

I'm not sure I understand your question, but it sounds like you need to contact a title company or real estate attorney.
how do we transfer the property back to my moms name
