If a person is deceased any Power of Attorney expired at the moment of death. There is no POA that can be connected to a person who has died. In order to acquire the authority to handle the property of someone who has died an Administrator must be apppointed by the court. If you are an heir at law of the decedent then you could petition to become the Administrator of their estate. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate or with a clerk at the probate court to determine what you need to do to settle the estate.
