You cannot acquire a Power of Attorney for a person who has died. If there is property that must be transferred, and no will, you must petition the probate court to be appointed the Administrator of your deceased sibling's estate.

∙ 13y agoA Power of Attorney can only be executed by a person who is living and has legal capacity. If your father has died owning property then his estate must be probated. You must petition the probate court to be appointed his executor, if he had a will, or the administrator of his estate if he died intestate (without a will).
You should consult with an attorney in your area who specializes in probate law.
