A power of attorney expires upon the death of the principal. You cannot use it to sell your mother' car because it is void. You should contact your local DMV to determine what is required in your state to sell a motor vehicle belonging to a deceased parent. Most probate courts have an expedited process when there is a small amount in assets such as a car. Inquire at the DMV and at your local probate court.
