No. The power of attorney comes while the person is alive. You need to go to probate court and become executor of his estate.
No, a person that is dead may not have power of attorney.
You estranged husband is dead. He can no longer grant a power of attorney.
It depends on whether the person is living or dead. A power of attorney represents a living person. After their death, the power of attorney is no longer valid. Then the Executor takes over.
The power of attorney has no value. The probate court will have to appoint an executor for the estate, who can then transfer the stocks.

power of attorney.
You can't. Power of Attorney is only for people who are alive. You can however petition to become the executor of that person's estate.
You could probably sign legal paperwork for a person who is brain dead if you have a Durable Power of Attorney from them. Of course, they would have had to have signed it before they were brain dead. And it probably has to be a DURABLE Power of Attorney, because a simple Power of Attorney usually only applies while the person is alive and not incapacitated, as they usually expire upon death or incapacity. Lacking a Durable Power of Attorney, you might have to petition the courts for Guardianship or Conservatorship of the person in order to sign legal paperwork for them. And making decisions regarding continued health care for an incapacitated individual might additionally require a Health Care Advance Directive, or a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. And you should ask this question to a practicing attorney, not depend on any answer here!!
If someone else has power of attorney I believe they can sell the car for the dead person (or a person who cannot think for themselves.)
Anyone can act as a power of attorney for someone else. You do not have to be an attorney
