Converting your bonds, stocks and liquid assets to cash
No. The only person who can cash the bond is the person who's name is on it. Even if you sign the bond no one else can cash it but you. The one exception would be if you were to pass away and your kids were to inherit the bonds. However, within that exception the bonds can not be signed. So for future reference if anyone is planning to leave an inheritance that includes bonds please make sure they are not signed.
The short answer is you can't sell old savings bonds. If the bonds are in your name, you take them to the bank and cash them as though they are checks. If they're NOT in your name, you need to return them to their rightful owner.

we are looking for a bank in berlin or cologne to cash in the bonds our doughter became from a relative in new york... thank you
First, the Durable Power of Attorney was extinguished when the principal died. You can no longer use it. The authority to handle the estate assets is in the executor. If no beneficiary was named on the life insurance policy then the proceeds will be made payable "To the estate of Jane Smith". In that case the proceeds are part of the estate. The appointed executor would have the authority to cash the check and pay the funeral expenses.
